Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following.
This used original GM upper center console is intended for compatible 1985-1992 Chevrolet Camaro interiors. It replaces a damaged, cracked, modified or missing factory upper-console section while allowing the applicable original trim and controls to be transferred.
This listing is for the upper console only. The lower console, console lid, radio trim plate, shifter plate and other separately installed components are not included.

Available Configurations
The correct upper console must be selected according to the vehicle’s original equipment. The current product page requires the following information:
| Vehicle feature | Available selection |
|---|---|
