Hi All ,
So I want to install a console from a newer car into my 65 B convertible. Will be putting the shifter in the floor / console and want something to lean on that has a couple of holes for coffee cups. I have seen it done but don’t know where or what to start looking at as a donor. Anybody else been down this road ?
Thanks Gary

I installed a 2014 Chrysler 200 console in my 1968 Coronet Station Wagon. It fit like it was made for the swap.

That 2014 console does look real nice. 64Sport, can you give some measurements on it? Like the height that tucks under the dash, width (to see if it fits between seats) and the total length. Thanks

My thought exactly.

Also how did you source it ?
We don’t have junk yards around here that you can roam anymore. How did you decide it was the right piece?

It looks like 2011-2014 use same console so far.

try car-part.com
There's not many good yards around here either and even the they-pull yards are limited with the newer stuff. It took me a couple years to find a console for my Charger from a lot I couldn't go through and just as long for a car to show up at a u-pull yard that was new enough to have some other parts I needed.

Yes, went on ebay and pulled up the various year cars, starting with the 64's 2014. 2015 they changed them. I went back to 2011 models and they all "look" the same. Same control heads, knobs, shifters, e brake handle, console lid, etc.

There is one in the u pull-it yard near me. Might swing by today or tomorrow and get it (if in good shape). Going to use in my 69 road runner - I've been looking for a console for it too and this will do.

64 Sport- any special tools needed to remove it?

I will get those dimensions for you in the morning. The way it's formed in the front meets the lower dash of Coronet spot on. I will check my 64 Sport Fury lower dash for similar form.

I sourced it from ebayyy a few years ago. It was almost new. I read about that console from a Mopar forum (don't remeber which one). I have the USB wired to my stereo, cup holder lights, charging ports (2) wired and added 3 Autogage gauges. The shifter hole I covered with a piece if black ABS as I have a column shift. I fabbed the mounts using simple hardware.

I found it on Ebayy after reading about a similar swap on another forum. I just google 2014 Chrysler 200 console. It came with the wiring to power up the lighting and charging ports.

Hi Wirenut, just got back from the LKQ with a console. They gave me a printout of compatible cars, looks like 2011-14 Avengers and 200's use the same console. Price was about 36. They nickle and dime you on the USB and cigarette lighter parts but you could get just the console for about 25 w/o those 2 items. I took some measurements: total length 44.5" long, from back to "pointy" part that goes under dash, 12"w at part under dash and 8" wide between seats all the way back, 12.5" tall under dash and 12"tall to top of console. Now, when it is in the car, it will be a little shorter depending on how it sits over the hump. These measurements were from the garage floor. I need a new armrest cover.

I like it and now I don't have to make one for the road runner. I don't know how it fits yet as the car is at the shop. 6 bolts hold it in the car. 2 up high under the climate controls and 4 bolts in the console box, under a non glued felt piece. The climate control cover, shifter surround, sunglass spot all snap in. Wasn't hard to get out once I figured out where the bolts were hiding. Just lift the e brake handle up as high as you can and it will slip out the opening. Also, I think there were the USB, cigerette lighter and a little light for the sunglass spot had wires to disconnect. I couldn't figure the connectors out and someone already butchered the wiring removing the radio so I just cut them. I was able to unplug the climate control unit. The 3 knobs for the climate controls just pull off, takes a little to do it but they do come off.

I will be using an automatic console shifter for the 727CF, to fit in the correct spot.

Tools I used.... 10mm socket with extensions, trim removal tools, wire cutters, star bit (small, can't remember size). A flat head screw driver would be helpful to remove electrical connectors properly too.

Hope this helps you.

He tree'd me on the measurements. Mine were pretty close but a bit off due to mine is installed and the car is on the lift. On my Sport Fury the dash is not smooth with a bump out for the heater blower switch/knob, ash tray, etc. You may have to trim the height down to position the top of the console to meet the linear (or flat) part of the lower dash.
