[Charger-Bodie]

[RD]

the ash tray in the back means its for a 70?

nope... those are there for all years, but NOT for 70 ebodies I believe.

[y3chargerrt]

The ash tray means it for 71-74 b and e bodies, Nothing really that special. The 70 only console had a place that the seatbelts were stored when not in use.

Whats with the little straps?  to hang on for dear life?

[Charger-Bodie]

[70charger_boy]

[RD]

[RD]

easy... your wrong.. its for left side drive, ashtray is the back of the console.

Well other than the little holes (For a cassette recorder maybe?) It's just like the one in my 73 S/E, so that makes it very special...

[RD]

well someone on ebay found it to be $473.79 special 

[Steve P.]

Ummm,,, it's out of an "A" body??   Hang 10 DUDE...........

[ck1]

[ck1]

[Steve P.]

it has no window to see what gear you in?

I think that's part of the shifter..

[Mean 318]

I don't want to, but I will anyways... nothing? Is it just another insane ebay price?

[RD]

BINGO!

[Mean 318]

yay

It does have the little straps though - they are missing so often that most people don't know they exist. Of course It's missing the glove box lock though so that pretty much evens it out.

well no big I bought front center peace grill nos for a 68 charger for $426, a original tic toc tac for $97, a carter avs for 68 383 $57 and carter avs for 68 440 $28, and i  can't remember what I paid for a simulated wood grain steering wheel from this very nice 69 charger from the east coast because he was able to pick up a nos one and he is from this sit but doesn't realize I bought it from him.....hint he posted hear on this thread......great steering wheel very happy with it............even though its  still waiting for my car to be finished on my 68

Seatbelts buckles straps are usually broken, but nobody replace them since REALLY are unusefull because buckle belt is hardened with a cover and a reinforcement plate, so never get lost or fall between seat and console. I have seen them NOS and nobody bought, not even me what usually kill for those details, and my console has the holes. Will be nice have them anyway thought.

The holes on front I think they are home made, you still can see the drilling rests, but if they are to cassette player must have the reinforcement metallic plate attached down

Ashtray consoles are usually since 72, but I think they stated to be mounted on last 71 half. 70 and 71 normally have a big hole cut out to buckles storaging

[tecmopar]

What does make it very special is that its NOT cracked at the shifter opening where just about all of them are.

[Ghoste]

I think the screw holes at the front are from some kind of owner added accessory.  Didn't the cassette player mount further forward on some kind of special bracket?

[Nacho-RT74]

They are on a pedestal, but they are same screwed and console has a reinforcement below. Dunno exactly where are the holes, but definitelly not in front since you don't have acces to that place... unless screws attachs from bottom to top

Is True!!!

hmmm maybe this console did have a cassette on it at one time... things that make you go hmmmmm

[twilt]

It is special because the previous owner was a key member of the Kansas Mopar Mafia. That in itself triples the consoles normal value.

Does the auction price include a "KMM" certificate of authenticity?

[supserdave]

Is the top piece near the shifter opening warped and raised up?

On a side note, anybody come up with a way to fix that?

Wow is all I can say about the price!

[CharlieCharger]

I was gonna say coz it belongs in my car
