I'm getting ready to install a new stereo into my 73 this Winter, and I don't want to cut into my original console to make it work. Does anyone have an extra one in good condition, and one for a mock-up in poor condition, that they're looking to sell? My plan is to mock-up the install outside of the car in another junk console before trying it on mine. I want an extra console in good condition so that I can go back to 100% original if I need to. If so, shoot me an email: sidneydal@comcast.net

If by console you mean the heater control panel I've got one that is broken but complete. Even though my '72 is different than your '73 it should still be the same for purposes of mocking something up.

I picked up a new Heater control panel from here. I'ts beautiful, but it's $200.
