1965-67 Console Price

[paul67]

What is the going price for one of those? Either repro or NOS.

*Edit* - Oops, for Powerglide, no power windows.

About $CA800.00 by the time you get it across the border, Paul.

Ouch!! I asked the question because most catalogues simply say "Inquire." Guess it's time to go to Canadian Tire and get a rattle can of paint.

I have decided to use a rebuild kit and re-paint my current console. The white-metal chrome areas are in very good condition.

Good luck. Very easy to do but just requires a lot of patience. Search for previous threads on the topic. Make sure that you strip it clean first and then apply a light fog of black etching primer.

I found this useful article on-line.

That looks like the way to go. It should look like new. Good article.

Picked this one off EBay for $200.00. Chrome is flawless. Front plates are somewhat scratched. I will rebuild with a kit and paint. Love these little projects.

That sounds like a good deal.

Yes, I will reburbish and either re-use or sell as pristine on EBay. Those Powerglide consoles tend to be rare. Few of us like C2 automatics.

Here is the refurbished EBay unit installed. It looks very nice.

Paul,

Do you remember exchanging a few e-mails with me a little while back, regarding one of your consols. ?

Yes, I remember. I am having a minor fitment issue (rear screws alignment) with this new console so I am not ready to give up the old one yet. I may refurbish it as well.

Paul,

If you decide to refinish it, the color of my interior is Red.
