I'm relatively certain that all consoles are the same. The only exception is the shorter consoles used in cars with dealer-added air conditioning systems, but I'm not sure whether the console was part of the kit, or was simply a stock console modified to fit.

2 as mentioned...short ones for A/C and more than a few aftermarket ones....Aamco or something like that made a really cheesy plastic one.

Of course someone will come on say that they are worth a mint like the crappy Saratoga tops....

75 76 has a different look to the vinal than the 73-74 years. You'll take notice to it by the gauge holder. It has a puffier look to it. Not to say they all do, but on the few original cars I noticed that. I would not worry about it though. Note the creases around the gauges. The car it's on is a restored 74 with a NOS console.

Is the "spare" one the one from Dagmar? It needs a little work to stay together, but its in decent shape.....

True, but it's more of a big storage box than an actual console. wink.gif
