Hi guys!

I'm toying with the idea of retuning my 'bird to its original configuration of a 4-speed on the floor. I have a console but it is in pretty poor shape and I was considering just pulling it out leaving me with just the shifter sticking out of the floor. Problem is that I don't know what Pontiac did originally. Did Firebirds come with a boot or something else? Or were all 4-speeds with consoles?

console was an option; boot was standard.

Here an original 68. It's a 3 speed but it gives you the look:

That's just how my '68 4 speed look's.

Thanks guys!

Say Vikki, did you get my pm about the grilles?

My original 68 three speed doesn't look like that. The boot is rubber and recessed.
Another oddity?

That picture I posted above is from Rodericks 'time capsule'. Do you remember the story? Wrecked at 10,000 miles and then stored in a shed forever. I think that the boot on Roderick's is pulled up for whatever reason. Maybe it happened in the roll-over. I bet if you pushed it down it would look the same.

That makes sense.
