Author Topic: Question to 1970 owners (Read 5415 times)

Apparenty 1970 has a unique brake console specific to the year.

Does anyone here have a 1970 that has not been "restored" that can tell me what is unique about it!

My car has a vinyl console and everywhere I look for a replacement they are the plastic ones and the list says 1969-1970 whereas that's different to what I have and not 1970 specific.

Thanks in advance.

Also it says Center arm rest/park brake lever console is color matched to he interior. Check for cracks in the plastic...etc

Thanks for the info, however that seems to describe the shift console - not the park brake console.

The added comment below about the color matched brake lever console makes sense, but does it say anything else?

...it says check for cracks in the plastic and check condition of sliding seal around the park Brake lever.Check for wear where seat belt receivers rub against console...

parking brake lever black plastic, diamond pattern with chrome trim...etcbut nothing about Park brake console!!!
Then it jumps to new section:
Shift boot

Bugger! Thanks for looking though. Very handy to have a network like this place.

As for the console - The thing is cracked. That's why I wanted to replace it!

No. But last night I posted this same question on a USA forum and one other person with a 70 also has a vinyl console and wants to know the same thing!

to my knowledge the centre concole is plastic with a vinyle cover with stitching along the edge,this is glued over the console,then the hand brake console is plastic and coloured specific to the interior,maybe some body covers yours in vynyl?just buy the replacement plastic cover and state your colour and tell them what windows you have,electris or wind up,trust me it will look original;32
