In all the photos of classic mustangs ive been looking at ive noticed some are bare in the centre, others have a complete console with what looks like a mini garage door on it?

Can anyone explain to me how they varied over the years?

 

It was an option, called centre console if i remember correctly, on early mustangs the only difference is with or with A/C, no garage door on a/c cars. I have it but no great biggy to me it the car doesn't have it you miss a rear ashtray and rear interior lights and the garage space i just use it to put my ipod in and it doesn't have a back on mine so things can go missing like pens and batterys for ipod fm transmitters

 

For 65 and 66 I think it came with cars that had the pony interior.

 

The ones with the storage compartment in front of the shifter were called full consoles. Mine is not a full console because I have air conditioning and the condenser is in the way for it to have a full console. The center console was an option for any model of Mustang for 1965-66. Ford even put a center console in their 6 cylinder Sprint cars.

 

while we're on the subject do they make repoped consoles for 67/68s, i've seen em for 65/66..
