Can anyone tell me about a full body console that runs from under the dash and hits the backseat. If you have could you please post pictures so I can have ideas. I've got one but it's a project and its not in the car. It's on a 66 polara

An E-Body Console in an A-Body leaves about 2" between the back seat & console if you have the front of the console against the heater box.

Looks real good in an A-Body & blends in with the rest of the interior. The shifter, either a 4-speed or auto (if located in the stock opening of the E-body console) is in the perfect positon too.

Along with the slapstick shifter came a raised right side on that console. I'm guessing this was to keep the passenger off the shifter. Anyway... I don't like that console any more than the A-body console. Both are about useless.
 
This is really cool. Wonder if it as well as the seats would fit in an abody?

Having a console go up to the rear seat seems like a weird fit to me. You still have a middle seat but no leg room. however the charger style pictured below makes the rear a 2 seater.

Some of the young ones have done similar in their ricers, 4 bucket seats and a end to end console.
 
May I assume you are looking for factory set-ups?
If not, that is the way i went. Racing buckets up front and the buckets out of a Cadillac CTS with built in seat belts in back.
The seats were installed first then the console was designed.

Thanks for the kudos, there is still a lot of work to do but its to the point others can now see the vision.

2005, and I removed over 50 POUNDS of motors and frame and controllers in order to make them fit.
