Correct console top?

[Flyboy1400]

My 1966 Satellite came with this console top on it, but in every picture I've seen of the consoles they dont have this aluminum plate over the ridges. I am wondering if this is correct or off of something else, like a charger maybe, or another year? Also would the console door have had a plate over it too? My door is missing so I ordered a repop one, which doesn't have the plate.

Thanks!

66 should have the black center with ridges. 66-68 have the ridges, 69-70 has the plate on top for the woodgrain decal I beleive.

The one on the left is a charger console top.
Here's what the one in my 66 Satellite looks like:

This is what my '67 R/T has. Silver Argent trim paint, not black.

And C body.

That console top plate with the aluminium trim insert is for a 66 or 67 charger

Interesting, so charger or c-body. Was there a difference in the actual plastic console body? It's pretty rough but this is the console that that top was set on when I got the car.

67 Charger. I would rule out the C body due to the lack of screw holes on the top back for seat belt holders, BUT, not sure if a 67 monaco had the holders or not. 68 did.

Edit; I think I'd go with 67 monaco 500, can't recall a green console in a 67 Charger

Looks the same as a B-body to me

A 66 console is 2 piece, they split after console door. If your not restoring your car no big deal.

Edit, edit, it's a 67 Monaco 500 console. There are clues.
They are quite similar, at a glance.

Awesome info, thanks. This car has been a constant mystery of mixed parts from the previous owners.

Not a resto, just a nice driver. I'm more focused on fit and finish than accuracy.

Did you paint or dye yours? If so what did you use? I'm considering painting mine with sem trim black.

It's certainly usable for you, I was just pointing out it's origin.
