    I NEED A 70-72 AUTO floor SHIFTER... COMPLETE, ANY restorable condition. Now I have several peeps IN LINE for my gorgeous restored auto consoles and I have 3 -3/4 consoles and just 1 shifter... :Dou: HOW does that happen? how do you end up with more consoles than shifters??? :Do No:
    Oh well...tell me what you've got, how much including shiping to 33776 and attach pix please...

    ThanX Guys and Gals!

    btw, for those of you whom I've spoken to, I've finally located another vendor for shifter FELTS... YAY!!!! :beer
    AND I have sent out 3 center console plates for restoration to 3 different vendors...... we'll see how well that research goes when they are back in my hands in a few weeks... :pray:

    ThanX Fred, ya. I saw that post a while back... Ya see, I still have to put in a lotta time and effort to restore a shifter the way it needs to be done correctly... So I am really hoping to locate a shifter a little less expensive... :Smarty:

    ANYONE ELSE???

    Ken..70-72 consoles are not as tall as 73 up and the shifters will only work on matching year consoles too... How about sending me a few pix.....I can help you identify what you've got: PenWheelz2@ij.net
