Has anyone tried one of the Repro Shelby consoles being made by MustangPonyCars?

They look very good option since I can't find a good Red console for my '67 vert. I contacted them and they said they can make me one in Red for my car.

My interior is standard all red (dash pad is black)
Do ya think all red would look best or a red/black?

I am not that worried about it being exactly correct. I just want to make sure that it is a quality peice before I commit the $$

My car is a '67 vert, 289-4-speed. I would like to do a GT350 clone at some point in the future. If their repro shelby consoles are a close match, I will likely go that route. Since its a vert with red interrior, I'm not even trying to fool anyone. I just want it to be nice.

If you are asking if the one in the link you provided is a close match the answer is no. There are much closer ones available but as I stated even those have little quirks. Specificslly, armrest, console insert, ashtray

Yes I know that. There were also no 'verts, and none had a red interrior.
When(or if) I eventually perform the exterrior "clonning" that will be a close to perfect as I can make it (on a vert). I would not want a black interror on a vert and did not really like the deluxe options on the '67 coupe I sold a few years ago.

The interior will stay red/std (at least for now).

Who sells the "better" repro consoles? I have contacted a couple of the suppliers and they don't have any interest in "special" order colors.

At least these folks want to work with me.
