$100.00 & up on the console. The later (maybe 72 & up) consoles have the same body, but the shifter & the shifter surround is different. There was not a 4 speed console available in 1970. Seats seem to go for $50.00-150.00 for decent cores. Console on ebay, missing the trim around the shifter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-AMC-Ambassador-SST-Console-/320912984613?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab7e78a25&vxp=mtrEdited by scott - May/26/2012 at 9:21am |

The '70 Rebel consoles are the same as found in Ambassadors & Matadors but the AMX and Javelin ones are different.
I asked an AMC parts guy that very question as to whether Javelin & Rebel consoles were the same and I got a resounding "Nope" they aren't anywhere near the same. I almost bought one that was for sale on evilbay but it was for a Javelin....advertiser said it would also fit a Rebel, Matador, etc. Good thing I held off & asked the "AMC Guy" as it would have been a pricey hard learned lesson. It was also missing the compartment lid. Never be shy about asking someone who may know the answer.
The console that you are talking about for a Rebel is very scarce; according to some AMC folks who are more "in the know" about these things than I am.
I did latch onto one that was removed from a "Machine" and had the shifter and linkage included.....complete, complete, complete, & I saw pictures of it before I jumped in. I paid $ 200.00 for the whole kit and kaboodle + $ 35.00 UPS to my friends place in Me. Both are in very good shape....one small crack in the console, near the bottom other than that, a little SEM to restore the colour, repair the small crack and she'd be real nice.
Now if I could only unload the 2 73'-74 Javelin rear tailite panels I bought for a former friend who welched out on me
