They are frequently available used for $30 or so in the classifieds. Put a WTB in there and you should get one easily.

If you want easy and cheap, hit the junkyard. I found a plain non-door pocket that goes under the stereo of a 90's 626 - got it for like $2 or something. Fits and looks great. That will tide me over until I get an R1 pocket.

Sad thing is my car originally came with that pocket and the previous owner removed it and put some UBER crappy car stereo kit pocket in there that was held in place with double-sided tape. Barf.

BTW, those pockets are about $80 from Malloy Mazda. Don't bother with your local dealer - they will rip you a new one on any parts costs. 1-888-533-3400, ask for Ray Crowe - he knows FD parts like you wouldn't believe and will give you a VERY fair price.

You could also order a Ford Taurus DIN Slide out drink holder off ebay.

I don't think there would be enough room with the stock shift ****, unless you've tried it and it works . Seems like you'd punch your drink shifting to 3rd .
