Ok door seal question answered. Next question - Did they make different center consoles for different years ? I picked up a console used from a local guy and i tried to fit it in my 78' . . . no luck. the shifter is far too forward, the hole in the console too far back. wont work anyone got anything on this ?

Sounds like an auto console. There were three different styles. 70-73, 74-79,80-81. They differ between auto and manual. The 80-81 are the same as 74-79 except the map pocket it gone, they used it to cover the computer.

I think after looking at pictures online that this also may be a Firebird/TransAM console party foul. Ill post pics of it tomorrow to be sure.

T/A's are almost exactly the same except for the map pocket has a plastic liner.

Yes, you need the one with a square hole toward the front. Good luck finding a red one. I have been looking for two years.
