71-74 Charger Console 4-speed Top Plate

[Smokey Bear]

Does anyone know if this is a reproduced part and where to get it?

I don't think the plate is but the woodgrain decal is.

Hot damn! $169. The guy at the local swap meet who has had his for sale for several years for $400 can CHOKE ON IT!

Thanks Musicman!!!!!

mostly sure he didn't know was being reproed.

( I still think $169 is not cheap though )

so,,,,is it a 70 e-body piece or a 71-74 B/E body piece. they are not the same . might wanna ask first

number if screws going thru them to attach it to the console is different between the 2

[Nacho-RT74]

thats new to me... interesting... how many screws ?

70 E body consoles are the same than AT LEAST first half production 71 B consoles ( dunno remmeber if all the 71 production, due the bigger opening for the belts buckles storaging )

i wish the 66-70 top plate was that cheap.....................................oh wait, it is if you get it from "i snuck these crappy ones out the back door of the factory but i'll tell you there perfect" guy

I had to ck and make sure before I opened my mouth

1970 takes 4 screws
71-74 has 5 screws

the rear ashtray / seat belt buckle area has no bearing in the top plate

[Nacho-RT74]

yeah, well but the top console section is shared by top plate and belt buckles area, so less screws maybe will mean diff top section console cast too ? dunno just thinking is good to know

Is a fact ashtray model and not ashtrays model have some cast differences on lower section of console assembly, like the tab screws area, being deeper in ones against the other. ( beside the "fins" or reinforcements unexistant on non ashtray kind )
