Sometimes
the value of of these is in the related
components: ashtray slider lid; trim plate over
ashtray slider, lock with or without key, console lid,
console lid bracket on lid...
These
are all listed as being 65-67.5 consoles. True 65-67
consoles originally had bright chrome trim and lock.
The 67.5 was finished in the dull silver to meet the
safety clucks requirement to prevent everybody by
being blinded by their lower door pull handles etc. No
requirement in most states for anybody to get their
headlights aimed but watch out for that shiny console
lock trim ring!
Unless
stated in the individual information on the particular
console the ashtray is not included. Add $40 if you
want ashtray cup itself. Most if not all of these
consoles need at least cleaning and most need to be
recovered; which is no where near as difficult as
restoring the later cars' consoles.
"HAS
RUST" means it has corrosion.
"RUSTY"
means it has rust but seems to be structurally
useable.
"RUSTED
OUT" means it is useable as a pattern or by someone
who really is talented or likes a seemingly hopeless
challenge!.
The
bottom of these get that way sometimes. You'd have to
weld in a patch or a new bottom. So why didn't you buy
a new console in the 80s when we had them in stock? I
would normally tend to just strip out the little parts
but I have seen some remarkable restorations done on
these old consoles so are keeping them for
awhile.
Rough
estimate of component costs when sold separately. This
is why; for the most part; even a ratty console will
have a $XX price. These are approximations as any of
the parts may be priced differently up and down when
sold separately.
Prices
for pieces which we may or may not have
separately.

New
exact 65-67 locks are all gone; 67.5 locks are nearly
gone. For the 65-67 cars or the 67.5 cars if you don't
mind a shiny chrome lock (67.5's came flat silver) we
still have 65-1500 locks. These will work if you use
the pivoting hook from a 65-67.5 lock. When we sell
these 1500 locks for use on a 1600/2000 we include
this new hook piece. You have to; or have a shop
remove the pin and fabricate a new pin to replace the
one you probably will have to grind the end off to
remove.
ANY
CONSOLE can have stripped screw holes or similar
problems; that is part of the "fun" of restoring an
old car. May be missing attaching screws, clips etc.
All used parts are just parts pulled from cars; no
repair work or refinishing of any kind is done unless
expressly stated as such.
Selling
used parts can be problematic; you don't want people
unhappy but you also don't want to just throw away
parts that are useable. The new parts are evaporating;
and the used ones are starting to go that route as
well...
