Cuda Shifter Plate

Automatic console finishing for a Cuda

The plate surrounding an automatic shifter is a prominent part of the center console. This selection includes a plastic plate listed for the 1970 E-body console, a separate 1971–1974 B- and E-body plastic plate and a chrome automatic gear-shift console plate listing. Choose the component that matches the installed console and shifter arrangement.

Plastic and chrome plates should be reviewed as individual components. A replacement trim plate does not automatically supply the shifter mechanism, indicator lens or the rest of the console assembly. Check the product description and photographs to establish the exact piece supplied.

Separate 1970 from later applications

The 1970 E-body plastic plate has its own listing. Compare it with the plate removed from a 1970 Cuda or Barracuda rather than assuming the later 1971–1974 version is interchangeable. Note the shape, openings and attachment arrangement during comparison.

For a later project, review the 1971–1974 listing’s E-body application and contents. If the transmission, shifter or console has been changed, identify the installed equipment before ordering; the vehicle year may not describe every part now in the interior.

Chrome plate and surrounding trim

The chrome automatic gear-shift console plate is listed for B- and E-body applications. Read its full description for the specific compatibility information and compare its dimensions and mounting with the console being restored. The category name alone does not establish that it suits every Cuda shifter.

Inspect the surrounding trim before deciding which pieces to replace. Retain reusable hardware until the new plate has been compared, and confirm whether mounting parts are included or need to be selected separately.

Plan the console restoration

Check the console mounting points and existing plate for damage before installation. Follow the supplied fitting guidance and verify clearance around the shifter after the trim is assembled. Decorative trim should not be treated as a repair for an underlying shifting problem.

Browse Cuda console restoration parts for related finishing components. Select each plate, lens or other trim item by its own application and package contents.
