I did this. Works and looks great. I love having cup holders lol. I can't seem to post any pics from my phone though. The shop just had to make a simple bracket to mount it on.

I've done a LOT of looking and measuring etc and the best console I've found that retrofits to musclecar applications is from the mid-2000 Impala LTZ/SS. It's not too contemporary-looking and it's built like a traditional console, with no handbrake and no vertical panel to integrate with the dash. Find one in a boneyard and measure it up for your application. One of the best things I've done to the GTO.

That looks sweet in there, like it's from the factory.
I'd love to see some of the install pictures too.
