    Wonder how many of the votes are from guys thinking with auto cars?
    If it hasn't got a console on an auto car it's either a B&M style aftermarket job or column shift.

    For a slapstik you must have the console. It is a nice thing to have though.
    I have decided to go without a console - bare bones driving style! :smokin:

    If i wanted to get one, how hard are they to come by?

    Easy to find, just check out eBay and there will be plenty.
    Though, condition wise, you'll pay for a restored 4-speed console, especially the one off 70 year.

    Hell yes!!! That is super sexy mate, clean & tough, I love it.
    I've been looking for one with a tuff wheel as well as that's how mine will be......same as yours.

    That's awesome mate and you've sold me - no console it is.   
    Ps: Do you have any other shots of the shifter, side on and a little closer?

    Here are a couple more pictures of the pistol grip shifter with no console. Glad i could be of some help here.

    I personally like the console.  Mine came with one.  I found an overhead out of a Gran Coupe in a junk yard and even though my Challenger is not an SE, I made a front bracket and added that one too!

     :clapping: My '70 Challenger has a consul with the slapstick, however I'm fitting a 4 spd later and was going to modify the top plate. I have had in the back of my mind about leaving out the consul. My '70 Aussie Valiant Pacer didn't have a consul and it did make it look meaner. The pic's on this thread certainly look great, I will definetly be leaving out the consul, at least for a while :2thumbs: I will have to find another place for the coffee cup.  :woo: Strange how a good restoration pic's can change a persons mind. :picture:
