Re: Center console

if you remove the entire firebird set up meaning center console and separete radio pod the camaro "should fit" but it wont look right because i'm not sure how well the camaro radio section will line up with the whole dash area. but the ac and radio and shifter and ebrake should slide and bolt right in.

if you have an entire afternoon to spare wouldnt hurt to find out


or what you could do....go to a hardware store and make your own brackets and re-bolt the radio pod to the dash or wherever it used to bolt into.

Re: Center console

The '84 firebird had the same console as all the camaro's, and the dash is the same. So theoretically, it should just swap in nicely.

wrong. camaro console wont bolt in to an 82-84 firebird...brackets are off,looks similiar...mounts differently.

he has an 87....they are not compatible.... id just try locating another bird console...there easy to find and pretty cheap,or you could go the 4th gen route...and geta cupholder while your at it.
