Hi,

I am trying to find a new console body for my 66 Coronet 500 2Dr Ht. Most dealers sell console bodys that are for 67 to 70 Coronets, but some sell a 66 to 70 body.

Is there any difference? Will a 67 console body fit into my 66?

Thx

Just measure your original one and call or email the sellers for their specs. The earlier ones were made of fiberglass and are easily repairable, the later ones, and the aftermarket ones are plastic. The original plastic ones were prone to cracking on the top near the rear end piece. You can also (maybe) find a rear cap that has the grooves open so that you can have a rear seat floor light and it has a built in cigarette lighter in the center. they are pretty cool. I'm going to mount LED lights behind it for floorwell lighting. If nothing else, it is a factory piece that allows you to have a 12 volt power supply. You might be a lot better off repairing the console you have. I looked at this issue before I bought one for my Coronet floor shift conversion. I bought an original fiberglass one. Now, I think I'm just going to make a custom one out aluminum, but incorporate the factory end piece and other trim pieces.

IIRC there is a "shorty" version and a longer version. It's been awhile since I did the searching.

Are not the 66 a two piece body screwed together (and fibreglass) and the 67 are a single piece and plastic?
