Hey guys i'm in the market for a new one on my 85 with a zf6 swap, went to corvette mods and found they have them for E84-85, L85-86, and the 89... i'm not sure the brackets are the same or not???

i still have my 4+3 shifter console, with the boot but its torn on the bottom

Thanks for any help guys

They're good people. Their catalog had a date code error and they called me to confirm my application. Here's how mine turned out;




A lot of people here didn't like the red with the queue ball shifter but I think it ties in nicely;




Or maybe I have no taste whatsoever

Bingo.

The red boot with an otherwise all-black interior is not a good look.

Please, don't sugar coat it, tell me straight.

Oh well, then I guess it's unique. Have a black one too, can always switch it out.

No. YOU said you have no taste. This is a no-spin zone.

I'm still working on it. Almost through the interior rebuild. See the old sunvisors, I have 2 new in the box to install. Need to repaint the door panels anniversary white and replace the old door carpet(still in the box), and re-clear the oak wood grain (speedo piece is not attached in the pic). The next step is a big one, prep for a new white paint job. Love my C4.
