My '67 coupe never had a console, I didn't really need it when I was 18.

Thank you everyone for sharing your opinions on this subject. Is anyone willing to post some pictures of the custom console they built for their cars?

There was one custom built console that I saw where a guy took the rear portion of a 06-10 console and then made it to fit a custom forward piece. It looked great.

This is amazing work. Out of curiousity, I see that there appears to be 2 different colors on the wood. Is one wood then an outer layer of foam? Just curious.

Thanks either way for sharing.

Skip the console, my two cents. Gimme elbow room ! You can always put in a "humphugger" or similar removable "stash and cup holder". I llike the clean open look, and my long legs don't need cramped space. Good luck whatever you decide.

My 2 cents: If you are going to do a console, OEM style or nothing. I think the console really looks good, but I'm not a fan of the fancy custom ones.

Coupes look really good with out the console too. It opens up the interior more.

My car has never had a console since I purchased it, wasn't one there when I purchased it.

When we replaced the floor pans and carpet there was evidence (i.e. old screw holes) on the hump that the car may have had a console at one time back when.

I like it without a console though. Opens up the interior and frankly the car is not my daily driver so I really don't need one. I mostly drive it short cruising type trips around here to local car meets, etc.

When I had my '67 coupe, I came across an original '67 console in great shape for $400. The thing about the original console is - other than dressing up the interior, it's pretty much useless - it's flat to the floor (no arm rest) and there's no cup holders. But hey, you get a really cool place to stick your seat belt!

I found a "hump hugger" type of console that is made to fit over an original console. So I bought that and stuck it in my '67 coupe.

The '67 convertible I have now came with a '68 Shelby-style console. That one has an arm rest / storage area. Much more functional. Mustangs Unlimited sells them for $600.
