I have the same problem, but I was going to buy the new console complete from Classic Ind. However, they will offer only the 1969 as an automatic. I need a 4 speed. I asked if they could just provide it with out a cut out, they said no. Also, I have been waiting over 1 year since they put it in the catalog, and it is still not available. If there is a material to re-cover mine that is correct but just a little light, I would sure like to know where to buy it so I could just move on until something better is available.

Thanks - Jim

I think that reproduction console has been a "Coming soon!" item for about 4 years now. I feel sorry for anyone that pre-paid. Ames Perf and others also listed it in their catalogs, but no one has received one.

Page 32 of national parts depot online Firebird catalog has the burlwood applique type decals there. I bought mine from them a few years ago.....the ones I have are a bit lighter and has less texture than the original and the decal/vinyl is actually kinda thick so It might take some work and fanagaling to apply like Steve K has indicated in this thread.

I picked up a small piece of this stuff on epay......When I get it Im gonna see how it looks in the car.....it could look decent or end up looking real "cheesy" so I'm not sure. I kinda liked it in the picture on epay....but you never know what your gonna get on there so....

I think thats the same stuff thats been available for years.
Pattern is different as are the colors. I also havent found any that
has the texture of the OEM except for a partial roll I bought years ago.
I matched it up with a glove box lid on a 68 Bonny(same stuff) and its as perfect as a fingerprint.
