LiLMike 42 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 The 69 has 2 small cups to place the seat belts in and the 70 does not. Here is a website that shows all the differences. http://1970mgr.org/_DifferencesGauges.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderscrash 10 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Correct me if I am wrong but the seat belt things are part of the deluxe interior. The 69 has a cigarette lighter though and the 70 does not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fvike 173 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 And the padding on the '69 console has 3 lumps, and the '70 has a "flat" lid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fvike 173 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 I have a '70 console in my car. No cigarette lighter, no button, flat lid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
06minx09 10 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Over the years previous owners may have mixed console parts or used complete consoles in different years 69 to 70 etc. I have seen lots of mustangs with auto consoles in 4spd cars, it is ok to the non purist but it is not the way they came from factory.

stangs-R-me 121 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Correct me if I am wrong but the seat belt things are part of the deluxe interior. The 69 has a cigarette lighter though and the 70 does not. Seat belt holders were on ALL 1969 Consoles, standard and deluxe. Button on left side of console to open lid. 1970 only. As fvike also stated, I've seen quite a few original '70 Consoles without the button ... maybe this button was added mid-year. I grabbed one out of an all original junk '70 Coupe in the early 80's.

I've also seen quite a few original 1969 Cougar's over the years bwith the plain "flat" lid ... including an all original convertible parts car I bought back in the mid-80's. It was a base model, so maybe the 3-hump lid was for the upscale XR7 model. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
