Default 1969 center console

I guess my 69 came with the center console, along with a bunch of other parts in the trunk. Aboviously I've known about this for a while but, today I was thinking installing it on my car but, some of the plastic is broken on the console. here's a few pics. What should I do? Are they even worth anything?? Because I don't know if I should just sell it or just try to fix it.

1969 consoles were formed with a mold release built into the material. As a result, ordinary epoxys will not stick to the shell. I found a single part plastic 'glue' at a local plastic store (Tap Plastics) that worked. I had to ask but they knew what I needed. I repaired a similar crack that BeastMachine69 has for a friends 69 sportsroof console and, using some fiberglass sheet as backing, put a broken out piece back where it belonged. I believe the doors are available aftermarket so don't give up hope. My only regret was that he gave the car to his son who took out about 60 feet of chain link fence and - it pains me to think about it.
