Niiiiice! No idea about the gauge.

looks to be a four-speed console, pretty rare these days and worth something too, top plates are hard to find...
i dunno about the gauge though...
i tink a Vac. guarge came on the '66-67s but i'm not positive...

[autodynamics]

its definetly a vacume gauge......... whats it from....?

[Troy]

You could get a vacuum gauge in either 66 or 67 (sorry, I forget which - maybe both). However, the console lid and top plate didn't have the woodgrain until 1969. Your console shell is the 68-70 version as well. You don't happen to have that little chrome strip that runs along the top of the left side hump too do you? Nice score!

You suck. 

[autodynamics]

so whats it worth?

[694spdRT]

Depending on condition they usually range from $800-1,100 on Ebay for the complete 4 speed consoles. Prices may fall somewhat with the repop stuff coming out but it is a very valuable piece. Your mopar guy is a very nice guy that either does not know about current prices or doesn't need the money.

 he doesnt know i take it he alos offered ma a dana for my car but found out its for a abody.... i think thats worth some money too but how much??? about time i scored something....im building a killer pro-touring charger.... just taking a charger and tweaking everything about it. seats, instrumentation, suspension,brakes audio etc... i dont think anyone here has a charger like mine ... although nycmile has exactly what im going for ,,,

[Brock Samson]

nice seats what they outta?..
you bought the '69 SE skins and had them used or what?.
nice dash and trim too BTW! 

[Lowprofile]

I like the dash! Are those aftermarket guages or just factory ones that have been re-faced?  Nice job!

[autodynamics]

the seats are corbaeu and had them redone to look like factory, dash is factory with all new internals no stickers there painted and i lost the amp guage and now its voltage, more pics to come ......

Is your car down the street in Brook Ave, Deerpark @ K&S Autobody?? I had mine done at Millennium a few buildings before yours. Now Millennium is doing a 70 Hemi Challenger -  banana yellow I believe. Can't wait to see yours finished AD!

[autodynamics]

yup thats mine......

[deputycrawford]

Auto dynamics. Did the seats just bolt in or did you have to make adapter plates or something? I really like the seats. Side bolsters and stock look too. Cool.

[Wakko]

Good score on the console!  The value has dropped a little bit since the repro consoles have come out, and top plates are coming soon I think.  Auto, this is the car you got from Florida, right?

[autodynamics]

yup thats the car....wakko.great car i took the car down to bare metal...and there was No rust at all what a great foundation to start off wtih, chris is gonna be suprised how nice the car is coming out... im looking for a 6.1 hemi now for it. it should be out of paint in august sometime, and then i have to put it together, i will post pics soon... as far as the seat brackets are concerned i got them from corbaeu they were a little pricey but after i got them i modified them to sit lower, actuallt flush but it uses all factory holes

[Ghoste]

Just to clarify, the vacuum guage could be had in a Dart but not in a 66 or 67 Charger.  That spot on the console was reserved for an optional clock (which mine has ).

Several years ago, I bought a perfect 69 style 4 speed console like that one and it had the vacuum gauge and a rear cig lighter. The guy that I bought it from said that he took it out of a 69 coronet 4 door that had bucket seats. The bucket seats were definitely for a 4 door since they didn't fold forward. I have no reason not to believe the guy since he had no reason to make up a story like that. If that's an original vacuum gauge, then the housing is identical to the 66-67 tach gauge housings and would be worth a few bucks to someone.  I sold the console at the mopar nats in Indy in 1987 for $300 and thought that I had made a killing. Wish I had it back now.
