Are you looking for the woodgrain applique or the entire top/center section? With or without the deluxe seatbelt holders?
If you just need the woodgrain, I got mine from John's Classic Cougars.

Richard,
I just had my 70 console restored, The crome plastic frame can be gotten brand new but, The correct wood grain will need to be gotten from John's Classic Cougars. I think Autocrafters has the part with the wrong for an XR7 wood grain. Neal.

who sell them? could not find one from any of the vendors in the links area.

Bowl,

Did you get my PM with the link to one on eBay? I have never seen one from a vendor - only used dealers or on eBay.

I saw that item yesterday. Its got two more days and looks like the price is gonna be high by then.
I try to stay away from the gator pit (ebay) if I can. I have heard that there are new ones, repros or NOS I dont know.

California Mustang has them, I think I would rather have a good used one with the correct wood for XR7. That one on ebay would be just right. I am in no hurry and still looking, still have a few more rocks to turn over.

Thanks, Richard

Keep in mind that if you buy one and need the correct woodgrain insert for it, I paid $35 for the applique from John B. The prive on th eebay on elooks pretty good considering that it is correct.

I found a place close to me that has some used ones for ten bucks, I am gonna check em out his weekend, or tonight if it wears on me enough.
I had no idea that the applique was that high$$

I just noticed that you are in New Hampshire.
My wife is from there, the rest of her family still is there. My maw-in-law is coming down here in 3 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks. I'll be hiding out in the garage the whole time, they talk toooooooooo muuuuuuuuch.

Yep, stuck up here in rust and snow land. Met my 1st wife in Tx - she was a NH girl. Came up here 'cuz she got homesick. After the dust settled from that one I was biding my time (saving money, looking for job down there) to go back but met a local girl and now I'm married again and been up here almost 18 years. Always planned on retiring in West Texas, new wife wants to move there NOW. Once I get the 69 back together and the house empties out we'll start looking around for houses down there. I live in SE NH and it's really not that bad - except during Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar... It is VERY humid during the summer though. Being from Houston you're used othat right? Where abouts is your wife from?

 

[bowl]

She is from the Lowell or Nashua area. It is nice country there, from what ive seen in the pictures.
I like the desert myself, no rain, dry and hot.

I have a 70 std that i am using for parts, let me know if there are any parts you need.

I am just north and east of Nashua. Between Manchester and Exeter (towards the seacoast). It is pretty up here with all the trees and such, but the pretty wore off after a couple of cold winters out shovelling, plowing and generally freezing my cajones off, followed by wet, humid summers.
I'm with you - hot dry desert - wide open spaces. You don't have to shovel sunshine, and I'll take the tarantulas, scorpions, horntoads and occasional snake anyday!

I may take you up on some parts from your 70. It looks as though the body shop may have "misplaced" some of the smaller peices. I will let you know.
