And your driver's seat is from a cavalier.

Imagine the horror, discovering your new T/A has been Trans-Maro'd. How unceremoniously we break the news...

Now it's just a matter of finding a 82-84 Firebird console and changing it back.

Re: Center Console ... Never seen before

cavaliers and sunfires are the same car just different body which is why tealman92 said its from a cavalier. the seats from either a cavalier or sunfire of those years would work just like how a camaro or firebird center console will work in either car from 82-92.

Re: Center Console ... Never seen before

Are your Heater controls limited to turning on the blower using that switch behind the radio ??

Re: Center Console ... Never seen before

Welcome to the site.

My Camaro was a real Frankenstein when I bought it for $500.00 and pulled it from some guys back yard.

"Pick N Pull" has been really good to me and most of the interior and panels have come from there including the hatch.
That's where you will find replacement parts at a decent price if you have one near by.

Good luck with your project and try to have fun with it.
They can be a lot of work,I know but no matter what problems come up we seem to persevere.
