Heck if your not worried about keeping it 100% stock,you could just get any g body or other console that has floor shift an make a cover plate to cover were the shifter would be,then you could use your creatively to mod something in that spot like gauges,speakers,cup holders,switches,gps, tv monitor,etc ,just some things i thought right off hand

Years ago I remember seeing a Regal Limited with a T bar roof. The Limited's had a 60/40 pillow cushion split bench usually. This one had two 40's and a console like that in the middle with a column shifter.

You could also look at the Citation/FWD Omega/etc. I have seen them in the junkyard with buckets/column shift and a console that would look quite good in a G-Body.

Actually, I have one. I pulled a console from an El Camino and the plastic insert where the floor shifter would go had a flocking-lined rectangular tray in its place. I'd have to do some serious digging in boxes to see if I could come up with the insert. What info are you looking for...measurements?

What you are describing sounds like the console insert for the manual transmissioned malibu/elcamino/monte carlo

here is my buddy's 80 malibu, he fabricated a piece of MDF to fit the opening to make himself cup holders

I remember the days when your cup holder sat quietly next to you in a poodle skirt......
