front console for 81 ?
Can you add the front console to a 1981 ?
As it is, it is just carpet, but I notice the newer models have a thin console.
Doesn't look like it holds much, but I would like to add one if possible and it would look original....
any thoughts ?

Sounds like the cassette holder to me.
There are 4 raised mounting points which are spot welded onto the central hump. You can probably feel them under the carpet, just cut a small circle around them. There are slide-on type clips which go on the body mounts.
My cassette holder looks like it was installed at the dealer, the carpet and rubber insulation was just hacked out, in uneven oval shapes.
I tried to replace the carpet pieces using carpet tape and carpet from under the back seats when I removed the cassette holder:
