65 300 4-Speed Non Letter Production Numbers.

Consoles glamorized 4-speeds and TF bucket seat cars. Usually considered as a companion to the bucket seat option, not in C-body cars, it appears.

In my '67 Chrysler FSM, there is a small inset above the illustration for the console shifter which I did not understand until years later. In the inset it detailed a block-off plate which would fill the shift quadrant hole left when a console was used with a COLUMN SHIFT car. AND, such a plate exists in the 1967 Chrysler Parts Manual, too! How many of those cars are known to exist???

When you take a console out of a console car, you then realize just how much space that neat console takes up. How much more "open" the feel becomes.

Enjoy!

FWIW, I have seen (recall) 1 or 2 column-shift console cars, both were Furys.
IIRC 1 - 65 and 1 - 66, and 1 of them was a 3-on-tree, which might suggest that a 3-speed in a C wasn't available with floorshift?
 
Can you give us a pic of the fendertag on this one?
It looks like a really nice car.
Although anything's possible, I would've thought that a 4-speed would've come with a console in a Chrysler.
Plymouths, sure - Fury IIIs usually have no console if they are a 4-speed. And they are usually a bench seat.
This would be the 1st buddy-seat, 4-speed, no console car I can recall seeing.
I was surprised that it is a buddy seat car. Pretty cool
