If you buy a factory style 67 console for it and the shifter is factory or has the correct mounting for a 67 it will fit. But if you are doing after market or your not running a factory shifter or a universal mount for an aftermarket shifter you may need to do some work to get it right.

A 67 console should fit a 67 whether it was originally a 4spd or an auto that was converted to 4spd if using a Muncie. The shifter hole in a 67 body is the same for auto and manual.

My car was a factory PG with floor shift and console. First thing I did after buying the car was swap in a M20, just needed a few pieces to convert the auto cover plate to the 4spd one.

 

But if you are doing after market or your not running a factory shifter or a universal mount for an aftermarket shifter you may need to do some work to get it right.

What kind of work might have to be done?
It does have a Muncie.

 

Well it sounds like you are running factory Muncie 4 speed shifter so if the transmission hole is original or was replaced to factory specs, then nothing is required except installing the bracket that the console mounts to.

If the transmission tunnel was replaced and the hole cut in a non factory location and the shifter is not using factory mounts - neither sound like the case by your description but for the sake of posting an answer - then the hole would need to be moved to the correct location, and the shifter mounted as per factory.

 

Roger that!

 

You should be able to look under the car at the Console location to see if the floor has been butchered.

 

Yes, and to add to that, your 67 should also have a reinforcing ring around the shifter opening.

 

It means it wasn't a manual or floor shift vehicle from the factory or a generic floor pan or generic trans tunnel was installed some time after she was born. In either case you don't need the ring. They stopped doing it for 68 and 69's. All that matters is that the hole is in the right place.

I just had my tag decoded and the car WAS a 4 speed from the factory.

 

Then you are all set.

I verified the original 4 speed Muncie, but it has a Hurts shifter. Am I screwed now?

 

Not necessarily. If the hole is in the correct place and you have brackets that put the shifter in the right location you will be fine. You can change the hole too. I had a 3-speed car and closed up the hole and converted it to an auto. Easy stuff.

 

UPDATE:
I went ahead and got the console, only it doesn't fit. See the pic below. It appears the shifter is too far to the left???


Any comments/suggestions? I really like the look of the console and hoped it would work!
It's off by a few inches.

 

I can't tell if its the picture angle but that driver's seat looks out of place, is it stock? It looks like the seat position is preventing the console to be centered over the transmission tunnel. Can you provide a picture looking down the tunnel from the back seat. The cutout should be almost centered between the front seats, but closer to the dash, almost at knee position. Cheers, fred

 

It's and new seat cover and cushion I believe, on the original seat frame that was reconditioned.
The cutout definitely is NOT centered on the tunnel. It is to the left side...
The center of the shifter boot is 2.5" to the left of center of the tunnel for some reason.

 

Or is a 67 that much different from a 69 transmission tunnel? Cheers, Fred

 

The shifter body for the 67-69 F bodies has a dogleg to it where the stick gets bolted, offseting it 2" or so.

My cheapness led me to buy the cheapest shifter i could find ($20) and make a handle that was offset, to save a boatload of cash

 

Hard to tell from your picture but, if your shifter doesn't look like this:

It is incorrect for a factory type installation.

 

I have a hurst shifter...

 

What P/N?

 

Im not sure why the console looks crooked but you have the wrong shifter setup for a console car.

 

You say you have a 4 speed transmission is it a Muncie or a Saginaw? It doesn't matter because a Muncie shifter was used on both. If you have a Hurst shifter then that means it has been changed. This is the reason you didn't have a console already installed. If you decoded the tag on the firewall did the car come with a console? How about a picture of your shifter mounted to your transmission? So you need to Identify the type of transmission you have. Then get the correct Hurst shifter to fit the console.

 

I bought the car restored. The previous owner said it's a refreshed Muncie and a Hurst shifter.
I have a thread where I posted the tag info. The respondents made no mention of a console, so I'm assuming the car didn't have one originally.
As the early posters here alluded to the fact that I might be ok to fit a console, I went for it.
The hole seems to be too far left along with the shifter. That's why the console looks crooked in the pic. It fits between the seats fine.
Why would the restorer buy the incorrect shifter and have to move the shifter hole to the left, when he could have bought the right shifter and not touched the hole? Seems like a bad choice.
Does anyone know if Hurst makes the correct shifter (part #?) that would fall in the middle of the tunnel? Then I can have the hole opened more towards the center and use the console.

 

I feel like a different shifter might still just mount where mine mounts. Could a different shifter mount 2-2.5" to the right?

 

My 67 was a column mount auto when I bought it. I then moved it to a floor shift and had to cut the hole for the auto shifter so it would line up correctly with the console that I got also. Didnt have internet back then so I measured the hole from the donor car so it would be exactly like factory. I cut it so that the console would be in the right place to match up with the factory plates that had the PRNDL on it. Later I switched to a saginaw 4 speed. I bought the correct Hurst shifter and mounting kit for the car. It all lined up perfectly. I later switched to a muncie and I had to buy a different mounting kit with different selecting rods but used the same shifter. It all lines up perfect like factory. The short version is that you can buy the correct shifter and mounting kit from hurst to make it all line up perfectly. I dont know the part numbers. There are other threads about this that list the part numbers. Do a search. I dont know why the PO installed the shifter like that. Maybe he was using parts he had laying around.

 

Hurst 391 4339. The shifter will still be close to the left side of the shifter plate on the console but, that's the right P/N.

Could you post a picture of your shifter without the console in place.

 

I called Hurst earlier and they told me the same part #. In looking at your pic now on my computer, it looks like that would work.

 

See how the part the handle mounts in is inline with the shifter body? That's not the correct one for the 67-69 f bodies, the right one has a dogleg and moves the stick to the right a bit. The handle isn't centered in the console but closer to the left.

 

Agreed.
The pics on Hurst's website of the shifter don't really look like the pics in this thread, but I guess it's just the pics? Or is it because it's a comp plus? IS this still the wrong shifter then if it's a comp plus?
Can anyone take a look?

With a lot of help from the guys here. I had an original console and floor shift automatic. Both long gone when I bought the car. It had a cable shift B@M shifter a foot behind where the original shifter sat. With the search function here and help from members here who told me to look for the original shifter hole. If it was there then the horseshoe bracket holes should be there. It was and they were. I was able to install my repop shifter and console in no time flat. Wiring plugged right in also,

Nice work. The auto is a little different than the manual I'm sure with the rods and such..no?
