A few Nova questions

[Bill Rose]

I've been tossing around the idea of changing the interior in my 69 Nova for a couple yrs. Been pretty busy since I finished restoring the Nova 2 yrs ago. I built a garage, remodeled the house garage etc.

The car was originally was a 6 cyl/auto, now with a big block/4 speed/12 bolt, so changing the interior is not something I'm concerned with.

Several questions from a Chevelle guy, who owns a Nova...lol.

The Nova currently has a standard black bench seat interior, in excellent condition. My plan is to put a factory bucket seat with console interior in the car. So I will be changing to custom door panels too.

Questions: The Nova currently has a Hurst 4 speed shifter with a Muncie chrome handle & knob. What do I have to do to the shifter, if anything, to add the console, besides welding in a console hump? Is the console shifter the same, linkage the same, handle the same, etc?? I don't see listings in the Nova catalogs for a hurst shifter with console??

I was also considering an interior color change. What color interiors were available from the factory in 69, with an Olympic Gold/black roof Nova? I did see a gold interior Nova at a car show that I really liked, but was that color available in 69??

I'm also looking for a nice clear picture of a 69-72 Nova floor pan from inside the car, with the carpet removed so I can see the placement of the bucket seat brackets welded to the floor. I have the brackets, but the 2 pictures I have aren't clear enough to see the bracket details.

Here's a shot of the car. Perhaps some may remember the resto I documented here on SYC.
