Nice 66-70 B-Body console ain't cheap, especially nice chrome parts & complete, by the time you get all the stock linkages shifter, door & console you can easily have $500-$1000 or more tied up in them, then you need a floor shift type column to look the parts too another $150-$500... I like the looks of a stock type console, with an aftermarket cable operated, gated or ratchet shifter installed like a TCI, B&M, Turbo Action, or some other brand shifter, I've been looking for an inexpensive console for my 68 RR RM23, preferably a 68 GTX console, but any 66-70 B-Body console would do for my purpose... I put ProCar/Scat Elite 1100 Buckets in a year & a half or so ago, the cheapest console I've found was $350 no shifter, no linkage, no lock, no carpet & side trim, no wire harness, but had nice condition & good chrome, in decent repainted condition, I have a B&M Quicksilver shifter already to put in one, if I can ever find a nice one, for a reasonable price some day, I too think I will just go with the Quicksilver shifter & it's supplied cover when I finally move my shifter to the floor, I have other stuff I have been spending my hard earned cash on lately, the RR is suffering from neglect... You can get a reproduction one for about $1200 after you piece it all together, from someone like Mancini Racing or other suppliers, I had not checked on the cost of the original shifter & linkage portions, because I didn't want or need one...
