Mount the shifter in the bracket, take the lid off the console and see if the front mounting holes line up with the holes in the console.
It may still work. You may have to do some small fab work but not much.
This ^^^ ... take off the top plate and sit it over the shifter and see if it lines up with the console . That console was only used in E and 71 and later B body , but it doesn't mean the guy got it all out of the same car ? Have you set the shifter mount on your floor pan to see how it sits along with the console ?
