No physical differences in size or shape there, just cosmetic differences.
The later console doesn't have a black painted groove down the center of top plates . The later console door has a push button latch and some had wire tie like teathers for the seatbelts on the sides of them.
Well no. Not like its a Geo console or anything aftermarket. The tops are interchangable if you find a trade. I have the later type in my 67 Barracuda LOL . I dont like the center groove. That groove could be filled and covered with paint, woodgrain, or any of the adhesive laminates available today.
No . it's a stock shifter with a BMW knob on it. What was that word used before... oh yeah, blasphemy. LOL I'll put a knob from the new Demon or Challenger on it someday.
The oiginal shifter, steering wheel, etc.., are stored indoors.
