Well, I pretty much thought I came to the decision last week of spending the $90 finally on a Humphugger console since I seem to always find myself looking for a place to rest my elbow and place my drink. And especially isnce I have seen what places are getting for a re-conditioned one.
Well, like always, a snag has just come up that is making me re-think it and so I would like to get some feedback. My fater in law called last night and told me that a friend of his has just inherited a little known Ford graveyard (and some Mercury ranging from like the 20's to the 80's) in Southern Mass and he tells me that he has 2 consoles available (a short and a long??????) for 69' and he is letting them go for $50. Naturally since I am headed down south for the long weekend I plan to take digital camera in hand and go nose around this jungle for a few hours, if I see any interesting things I will click and post them and be happy to help secure any parts anyone needs.
So my question I guess is two fold. Would you guys choose a stock over the humphugger design even without having the much needed drink holders? And for those of you who have added either of the two to a non optioned 69', what are your opinions?
I'm sure the original will need a new lid which is like $30 and some minor refinishing assuming it has no major cracks so it seems the end result would cost me around the same dollar wise. I keep thinking for the price if I don't like it I can likely make a profit on a resale.

I hope I am wrong because I really hate hearing those types of stories.
