I can't either...but what I really can't understand is why someone rated it a "1 Star" thread. I have it on ebay for $1150 WITHOUT the speedometer. For CO I could sell all of it for $1000 WITH the speedometer.
I will sell it separately, but I won't sell the shifter until I sell the console because if it doesn't sell, I can still use it all in my car.

considering that is not a dual gate console and the shifter wont work with it unless you cut it to make it fit, thats probally why no one is wanting it as a package. just throwing that out there.

I think it's better that the console isn't cut.You can still use it for whatever you want.They used the same console shell for all three styles - automatic,4-spd,and dual-gate.Nothing got cut for the regular automatic.Most of the time,the factory dual-gate consoles were cut crudely,as it was an assembly time issue.They weren't building showcars back then,so they weren't always real careful when they did it.This way,you can take your time & make it nice.

I doesn't appear to have been cut for a dual gate but it does look like it has a portion missing where the upper half of the console mounts to the top of the regular (ie non-dual gate) shifter body via a screw/bolt. It's evident in PIC #4 that the plastic area I mention is missing if you know what to look for and/or have a console handy to compare to that pic. It also looks like a related piece of plastic is missing....a piece that runs from the area I first mention forward to the other top-of-the-shifter-body mounting point.
If you "convert" this console to the dual gate setup the areas I mention as missing are removed in the process.

So you're the guy! Wow! We've come full circle...he told me he had a guy in SA build it for him but I guess I never bothered to get a name. That's awesome! I'll have to tell him. Yeah, that's a great engine, but it needs more cam lol! Its a bit of a turd w/ the cam & rear-end he's got...
Anyway, he's my dad. He is also the owner of the console I am selling. It really is a nice piece, and if you know my dad then you know he's not going to screw anyone.

Your father, correct?? Yes, I've spent a decent amount of time getting to visit with him at a car show we put on here as well as occasionally getting to see whatever cool projects you guys had brewing. The first time I met him (10+ years ago) he drove up to a buddy's house in the wagon with the 455(same motor/car, I believe, that Dan rebuilt years later). Thought to myself...."this guy really has the right idea!". Tell him I still have a pair of '72 TX plates here that are his.
