    Yeh but NOW you can mount your 8-track above it ! lol Hack Saw Ridge opitional consolette! The $30 reproduced shift coin could be salvaged, yep studs for shift boot are there but unfortunately built into the butchered top. Real roach

    Saw this ... seriously, what do you think it's worth? Thought about offering $150 ... it's been hacked for sure, but the visible part is still good

    Neal,
    I have looked at that thing SO many times HOPING I could justify something but the only removable part on that unit is the shift medallion which is reproduced so of very little value.
    The chrome perimeter is one piece to the top AND bottom of the consolette so parts can't be unbolted and used on an example with worn chrome.It amazingly has the boot studs usually broken of f but again it is permanently attached to the destroyed housing.
    I asked him about boot rings,shifter lever or linkage or knobs(anything Buick) but he said he bought this collection out of a garage of random boxes from a (pardon me I need to get out the garlic and crosses before I say this.Forgive me Buick brothers!) but it was a (wince) FORD GUY.
    And there were no additional Buick parts (DIDNT EVEN KEEP THE HACKED OFF PART! : P
    So no rings,trashed upper and lower housing which also means no where for the tachometer or chrome Buick cup which is ALSO gone! Arrrrrgh!!!!) and AND the hacked off part housed the upper studs to keep the consolette from turning into a musical cymbal (nice word for RATTLE TRAP as my Dad would have said lol)
    Hell,it is even missing the little iron slides to hold the opposite end together ! Gotta wonder what the rest of this glorious Ford it was in looked like!
    Is just a disgusting shame.
    Other than that I have no opinion on it,but somehow I still want it but I ain't never "been right" ask the guys here lol
