Has anyone built an arm rest that mounts between the seats and over the E-Brake boot? Are they for sale using a vinyl/leather that matches the seats?

yes, and no. there was a forum member who offered some about 3 or 4 years ago ... Anton, i believe. i think they only came in black, don't remember if vinyl or leather, but it was relatively close match
Here's some info on the console (made by Anton) that I put into my coupe a few years ago. I think it has his contact info in there somewhere.

This a made for my e3. Wood structure and leather covered...seams laced.
lovely interior!
Thanks...needs a couple things I'm working on.
yep just look down 4 posts
Sounds like Anton isn't making these consoles anymore...anyone have any other leads on good options? I'm hitting a wall with him out of the game.

i've got one of Anton's consoles that will go into my coupe ... although i have been giving some thought into integrating the console with the armrest - making custom console sides that extend into an armrest ... to make it look more like it was there originally. seems like a fun design challenge
Amazing built in feature of our coupes
Did you know we have a very forward thinking "anti g-force acceleration compensation" device for beverages built right in to our cars? I utilize it on most solo missions in the coupe. Unfortunately, braking and cornering require manual engagement (forearm resting on top). :-)

I don’t think I’ll take my chances!

I found one in an old Honda Accord that fit very well in my E3.
Eric Anton's consoles are wonderful. It looks great and fits the interior perfectly.
That’s my conundrum— I know Eric Anton’s are the best, and he’s no longer making them.
If anyone has one they’re up for selling, here’s a motivated buyer.
Steven, Yes, sending you a PM.
I too have one that I will sell for what I paid for it plus shipping from zip 19382. NEW, in the box, never used, and of course, it is now Unobtanium, one of the rarest of all rare earths..
The seats in my '74 are apparently wider than the ones in the earlier cars, and it really doesn't fit. I've had it for at least 3 years. Put it back in the box and stored it in our storeroom in the house once I found it wasn't going to do what I wanted it to do!
Cheers,
