Yes, with the exception of the interchangable "filler plate" where the clock goes. Also 66 and 67 are the same to my knowledge (and are reproduced if need be.)
As a guidline the '66 Beaumont:
-dash is the same as a GTO (although the tach is the same as a 64 GTO tach)
-seats, steering wheel, console, and sheet metal are the same as the Chevelle
-grille, tail lights, horn buttons, interior doorpanels, and reverse light assemblies are exclusive to Beaumont
-clear front turn signals are exclusive to Beaumont (but reproduced orange Chevelle lenses are often substituted.)

So 66 SD seat materials are the same as chevelle and the door panels are different? Who repopped the door panels again?
I think it was originally suggested that it was Legendary, but then later changed to Dales? Also, I'm not sure if they have the chrome mylar (?) strip on them.
Chevelle and GTO panels will fit but are different visually. Chevelle design is verticle as opposed to horizontal (or vice versa). GTO has carpet running along the bottom. Also there are Beaumont colors that were common to Chevelle but not GTO.
My understanding, not gospel...
Edit: Beaumont run verticle, Chevelle run horizontal.

Nope. Although I have seen the mod done. As suggested by others in the past though, not the best location to be looking at a tach (or a clock for that matter LOL.)

"filler plate"?? What is that, and what's the difference!! Bottom line is, would someone know it's a chevelle console ?? Also, I've got a T400, would I be able to still use the console with this, cause right now there's a B&M Megashifter in there!!!
Filler plate goes where the clock goes , Its got a beaumont emblem on it. your turbo 400 will work,in 67 they started 3spd,you just need a new 3spd gate.

Link to a thread with a picture of the filler (or clock delete) plate:
Re the console, I know that the automatic console is different from the standard. I also know that the auto console is the same in 66 as 67. And I know that there was a 2 sp PG in 66 and a 3 sp auto available in 67. Also that there are parts for both reproduced. Hope this helps...

Not knowing anything about transmission/console "fitment", my comments are best limited to what the stock appearance was, and which parts I've seen avaialble. (However, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.) If you haven't already, you should get yourself Chevelle and GTO repro parts catalogues. They can provide a ton of "guidance".
PS I'm guessing that the "plate" is simply the clear plastic shift indicator that has 3 gears instead of 2?...

I'm assuming the only reason the Megashifter is in there us cause the guy was racing the car! So im hoping I can just throw in the reproduction of the original 67 three speed and it will still work with my T400!! Anyone know if ghat will work!! Maybe a pic of one they've done!!
You will also shifter & the plate it bolts to.this whole unit is made aftermarket ,it bolts to your floor in 8 spots & the console screws to it in the center pos.
I don't want confuse anyone, but to simplify things, it would be like an original 67 3 speed shifter, same console to, just switching out the tranny with the T400.
Hey ,neat stuff. Was on the site and I think myquik66 is looking for an automatic console .I still have the automatic Beaumont console .No clock but it has the Beaumont emblem .Asking $300.00 if hes interested. It is pictured on our website under nos parts
I used to have a T400 in my car. The shifter is different it uses a cable. The power glide is a mechanical linkage. If you are going to install a chevelle clock in the console you would want to find a 64 GTO tach for the dash or run two clocks. The other option is to install the beaumont emblem (filler plate) in the clock location on th console. You can buy the T400 shifter / cable aftermarket and I think you can buy the tach aftermarket as well.
