Question for the 70 guys...

[Troy]

I ran into a guy at the Nationals and we were talking Chargers. He has a really rough 68 that he's just trying to get mobile. Any way, he wants a 4-speed but the only console he has is an auto so he was asking how to modify it. Well, I found out later that this console is burnt orange so I asked him to see if anyone else may need it before he hacks it up. I have heard the complaints about finding good burnt orange interior parts but I need to know if I gave him the right advice? Is it worth it for him to sell this thing off and find something else to use in his car? I have no idea what condition it is in.

I think it would be a good idea to offer here 1st before ruining a part someone is desperate for

[BrianShaughnessy]

He can probably get 2 black repros for 1 burnt orange.

Yes 70's are the best year of charger! What? That wasn't the question you asked? Oh sorry....

What color is he looking to get? I have a few other console shells and would love to find a good burnt orange one for my '70 Charger R/T....

nice.

Burnt Orange should be offered to someone with a burnt orange car...    he can use that money to buy a 4-speed repo shell... 

[Big Lebowski]

  If he really doesn't need the Orange console, I'd sell it here or at Moparts, or E bay to pay for the new black 4-speed consoles.

70 Burnt orange interior pieces are hard to come by whereas 68/69 black are a dime a dozen. Sell BO for profit.

Man, that's gotta be about the cleanest unmolested 6-banger plain-Jane 70's I've seen out there.

I would dive all over that car with a speedo if I could. Money is tight though.

I need it.. 

[472 R/T SE]

Definitely a keeper.  No matter how well I prep plastic pieces it seems to still scar if bumped hard enuf showing the underneath color.  Maybe tell him that.  I imagine he wants a black one on top of it, perhaps buy a reproduction piece ahead of time and offer up a trade if his piece isn't too charcoaled up?

I don't care what those cuda-challenger boyz say about you.  Lookin' out for us '70 folks you're alright in my book.

Hey wait that's not a REAL B/O interior. Troy tell 'em if it's in good condition I'll trade him a new console AND 4 speed top plate
