SHIFT KNOB

Post by thos25 »

Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a repop outlet that markets the brown 4sp shift knob? I'm almost positive that CYCLONES and SPRINTS came with a brown nob to match the steering wheel. My brother bought a CYCLONE brand new in 65 and it had a brown nob. I have seen one or two at swap meets but like everything the guys wanted 5 or 6 prices for them!
Kind Regards, TOM

Hey Tom, I don't know about you but if I find something I want that isn't easy to find I step up if at all possible.
I've let too many things slip away looking for a better deal,, like a beautiful 428 Mach 1 for 5500 in about 1980 !!!!
Besides I've got more years behind me than ahead of me to play with toys.
Sorry not a rant, good luck on the shift knob.

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

I have one with super nice woodgrain finish you will have to touch up the pattern on the knob to make it look like new.

Brown is correct and yes they are hard to find. I paid dearly for one several years ago as my Cyclone was missing the correct knob.
