Just seeing what everyone's thoughts would be on this....

Maybe it's only me, but i woud be interested in a center console delete in my 87 LX. Do they exist? i think it would give a bit more racey feel and maybe just be pretty cool. maybe remove the entire center console, replace it with a small piece that ties the shifter and dash together, then maybe a small boot around the e-brake. just my thoughts....how about everyone else????

yes, they cawme stock on 79-86 cars. You can find the peices to do the delete all the time on Ebay. There is a cover for the e brake handle (which you need to use the 79-86 handle, the 87-93 handle is too large to fit into the covers hole) and also a shifter benzel, but mounting the AC and CD player becomes a problem.

Actually I have it in my car now.
 
some stangs 87-93 came factory with armrest deletes. i'm not sure what constituted which car got them and which didnt, but they're on ebay usually. i used to have a smoke gray one, a titanium gray one and a porno red one. :D i saw some picture not that long ago on here of a guys car who had black interior and no center console at all. it actually looked pretty cool, old school looking, with just a carpeted tunnel and a chrome hurst shifter handle.

Umm....his car is an '87...so the console is kinda/sorta part of the console....i'm not sure what you mean by this other than swapping to a '79-86 dash.
 
Mines a 93 :D You take the entire center console out, and replace it with a small trim piece that surrounds the E brake handle, and a trim piece that surrounds the shifter boot. Only hard part is making something to mount your CD player and AC in. Actually, untill I fine a way to mount my CD player, I cut the center console right after the shifter. Ill see if I can find the pics I took a while back.

I tried the armrest delete in my car. I had nowhere to rest my elbow so i put it back in.


I've seen a nice 87=93 console delete on here not too long ago. handbrakes are difference than a 79=86 car so unsure if the trim would work, but they cut the console basically where it comes down and custom molded a bottom so they could still have a radio and HVAC.

You will need a new carpet though, because the OEM one is cut up under the console and may not look good.
 
I've seen the armrest deletes. I was thinking along the lines of oldschool too. when the entire center peice comes out the piece around the enviromental and radio controls does too. i was thinking of a replacement piece that goes back on, covering the controls and down around the shifter. guess i could start cutting it up, but hate to do it with the original parts. ...have to get some junkyard center console to rip up. pics would be awesome too!
