Default 67 Center Console

I was looking to add a center console to my 67FB and am am realizing how expensive they are. NPD has a full deluxe reproduction console for $1100. I also ran across this photo and was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase it from and if there were any pictures of this console installed.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

You might do better restoring an original, but even a restorable one of those will cost a lot....

I would check E Bay and Craigs List. I wanted to replace mine due to cruddy metal pieces. I was was shocked at how much they are from any supplier.

leroman is correct. I was looking at those last year.

I decided to make my own custom center console instead. Going a different route from most and will be using a marine 2-part expanding structural foam. Mix, pour, shape, install! lol Not quite that simple for sure and is a lot of work. Looking forward to it in the next few months though.

Man , that console is a killer!!! I have the padded classic '68 fastback console which is very non-functional and bulky and would like to replace it later on my restomod and i like that one very much , would you be willing to build one for someone else? i am sure me and would be interested.Good job !!!
