Hi,

I recently posted about a 1983 Cordoba at the local pick and pull. There is also a Fifth Avenue there, which is an M body (please correct me if I am wrong). I would like to know if the steering column on the Fifth Avenue would fit my Mirada. The steering column on my MIrada is brown, but the rest of the interior is blue. The Fifth Avenue is dark blue outside, blue velour inside, with a blue steering column. I would like to know if the Fifth Avenue's steering column would fit into the Mirada. Both cars are power steering cars with column shift.

Same question regarding the woodgrained plastic instrument panet faceplate. Would the Fifth Avenue's fit my MIrada? The Fifth Avenue's is a nice dark, rich brown, while the one on the Mirada has the brown going more pink than anything else.

The woodgrain inst cluster is different between the two and will not fit.I am pretty sure the steering columns are different.M-body and f-body will interchange.
