Does anyone know of a 6 speed t56 pattern console plate for the 68 and 69 camaros? I think that would look pretty cool.

I've been wondering the same thing; I just hadn't bothered to ask yet. My TKO will be living under my workbench for a few months yet, and I doubt I'll be looking for the interior trim parts until next summer.

Anybody think we could call Classic or someone like that nad get them to make 5-speed and 6-speed plates for console trim?

Check with Mike at 5SpeedTransmissions.com. He is currently having 5 speed plates made. I am waiting on one for myself.

How about a billet plate for 5 or 6 speeds? Would you guys be interested in that?

I would think it would not be too hard to carve one out of aluminum with a CNC mill.
