Stick or auto,the consoles are the same.I used a dye to do mine from tan to gray.Worked great,and after over a year,no chipping or anything.I wipe vinyl treatment on it just like the rest of the interior and it works great.

If you'd prefer not to dye one, I think we've got a tan console left. We'd sell it for $20 plus shipping. It would be the bare console though, no lid and no switch plate or shifter cover.

Do you prefer a gray one then? I think we've got some gray ones too. I know we have porno red ones in addition to the tan and we may have gray too. So, which color is your first choice?
Ours are all from 87/88 Turbo Coupes, if it matters to you.

I didnt even think about you having any. I would defiantly get this if I was you. Never really see tan ones.

This is a start. Like you said, if you have only seen one then better grab what you can while you can. You can find the other pieces later. I wouldnt pass it up

In the 87/88 TCs, the lids, switch plates and shift boots are all the same color, no matter what the interior is. I dug out our last tan (Sandlewood) console and here are some shots of it. The shifter boot mounting tabs will need to be fixed, but the rest of it looks fine. Let me know. My son is coming home on Friday, so I can put him to work packing it up if you want it. Thanks, Mike.

Are you referring to the pics I just posted? If so, then I already said that. Almost every console I've seen has at least one broken shift boot mounting tab. A couple minutes with a piece of plastic and super glue fixes them right up. We've done it on both my son's cars. Anyway, I will put our tan console back into our inventory. Good luck with your search.

As I mentioned before, the 87/88 TC shifter boots and console lids were all the same color, no matter what color the interior was. Even if the interiors were cloth or leather, the boots and lids were all that dark grayish color. Your two main concerns (once you have your console) are going to be finding a console lid in nice shape and finding a console lid with an unbroken latch.

Then you don't need to look for any other pieces, you just need to find a nice guy willing to sell you a Sandlewood console for a fair price. :D

You are saying you will also need the switch plate for the full console because the short console switch plate won't transfer over. That is correct, the plates aren't interchangeable. Ours are all gone, so hopefully, someone here has a switchplate. They'll need to know if you have a single power seat or if your passenger seat is power too. If you don't have a power passenger seat, but you are able to buy a dual power seat switchplate and wiring, we've got power passenger seat tracks.
Oh, one more thing, if you are converting from a "short" console to the full length console, you will also need a special bracket that mounts by the bottom of the dash in front of the shifter. If you buy the console from us, I'll throw that bracket in for free. Thanks, Mike.

Not totally sure what you where trying to say. That consolette is welded to the seat frame. Look here

You can sit it there. It wont mount to the console. You can just leave the switches laying in the hole until you find a panel too

No. You MUST have the switch plate for the FULL console. NOTHING that is part of the consolette swaps over. The only thing that is the same is that the switches mount to both.
Im pretty sure that everything is listed in the link I posted

You're probably right, we probably aren't understanding you. Would it be possible for you to take some pictures of what you have and what you're trying to do and post them? We'd be happy to try to help if we could.

My understanding is you have what this red on has (consolette) and yon want what Erics Vert has (full console) correct?
Now your question is will the piece that holds the switchs in the red thing work in the white thing right?
No.
I think this is what you are asking.

So, are you interested in our full length console then? It's no problem either way. If you want it, my son is coming home tomorrow and he is the one who packs consoles for shipment. If you don't want it, I will put it back into inventory. Like I said, it's no problem either way, I just need to know, so it's not sitting around in my shop. Thanks.

I didn't think they did on the 87/88 Turbo Coupes. We've had every color combination you can have (Gray, Tan, Red, Blue), both in leather and in cloth, and we have never seen any color lid other than dark gray. I don't know about Sports, LX's or Cougars, but I am fairly certain 87/88 TCs all came with dark gray console lids.

If you are asking me how much to ship a bare Sandlewood console to you, I would say roughly $20, but I would only charge actual shipping, whatever that would be.

I put it back into storage, so it will be a few days before I can get it out again. I won't be spending a lot of time cleaning on it though. I figure that is a labor of love that should be enjoyed by the new owner. lol. Anyway, when I get it back out, what other pictures did you want? I already took both sides and a close up of the center. Let me know what else you want to see and I'll take a pic of it.

Title: need center console for sitck
Post by: FLSTCI71 on February 15, 2009, 01:22:09 AM
Okay, no problem. I'll take some pics. On my son's console, where the tabs were broken, we just superglued some plastic over them and drilled an 1/8" hole in it. We actually did something similar to what someone already did on this console. See pic.

Post by: FLSTCI71 on February 15, 2009, 11:39:08 PM
Well, both shifter bezel mounting tabs are broken, but one has been "fixed". We wouldn't have the lid or switch panel. We should have the metal brackets, including the one necessary to attach the console to the dash.
