this is a console I was saving for my 65 chevelle, sold the car , the buyer did not want all the parts. I have owned this console 25 years, it is super nice very little pitting,it was hard to take good pics because of the reflections, some of the marks on the console are from reflections. the fluting on top is very nice , the black spots is dirt , I started to clean it , it is time consuming, I didn't have the time, the black paint will need to be redone, with some time polishing you can put this console in a show car , restoring 65 chevelle consoles run $2000.00 or more. I give this console an 9 out of 10 . I have never saw a 65 chevelle console this nice, don't miss out on this one asking $1700.00 email or call me 570 617 7316 Kevin
