Can anyone tell me if a 69 cuda auto console will work in a 70 dart?? If there are differences, let me know. Im not too worried about cosmetics.
Thanks

They are pretty much all the same, They changed the top plate finish over the years.
by the sounds of it, only cosmetics. If I want I could use 69 cuda auto console and change it to a 4spd console ( change top plate) and it'll work in a 70 dart??

Using that console for a manual I'm pretty sure you're going to need the shifter arm with about 4-6 bends in it before it even comes out of the console.
Yes, the 4spd. top plates are hard to come by.
Just trying to figure out my options out here. I have a complete auto console, 727, as well as an NOS 4spd hump, so trying to decide what to do 4spd or auto...Hmmmmmm

The 69 console door springs down while the 70-up door has a button you push and it springs up, that is the major differences in auto consoles. The 4-speed is totally different in that there is a much larger opening on the drivers side to fit the shifter and it has a cardboard cover to hide the shifter. Also, the shifter handle is offset 4" to the right so you must use a correct shifter handle to fit the console! A B-Body shifter handle will work but comes up at a bad angle for the smaller Dart. The 4-speed top plates are now reproduced by BE&A but the shifter handles are not.
Thanks for the info, food for thought!!
