REGAL Non-shifter T-Type Console - Hard to Find?

[CaliWagon83]

Hi Guys,

So I'm on the fence about keeping the split bench or going with front buckets. I think I want to keep the column shifter, but am thinking about putting in a center console. I know a few T-Types were made with a column shifter and center console. Are these pieces hard to find, and other than the opening for the shifter handle, are they fundamentally different than the shifter consoles? Thanks.

It's a consolette and yes it is different and rare. The front seat is basically a 40/40 . I have one in nice shape and have thought of using it in my 79 turbo Century. Here is a link to what it looks like. http://www.layitlow.com/forums/15-vehicle-classifieds/257387-rare-1984-buick-regal-limited.html

Interesting. I guess I never realized they were an entirely different piece. I thought they were basically the same as the shifter consoles but just with a blank panel where the shifter would be. I'm thinking my better bet might be to get a shifter console and modify it with cupholders or storage trays where the shifter would be.

Between the astro roof and the consolette thats a kind of cool car. Redeems the v6 and scat color.

The same year FWD Rivieras and the Citations may have the console you are looking for.

Could go with a Monte console with a aftermarket cup holder plate.
