I’ve seen three GTO’s with this manual column shift over the years.

This blue interior has had wood grain applied to the console top and horn bar.

Pretty sure that fart is German (and maybe Swedish) for "exit". Hence, exit gas.

Early BMWs have the word fart embossed on the ignition switch to indicate where you turn the key to remove (exit) it. I believe it is spelled "fahrt". Been a while.

Apparently FART means ‘speed’ in swedish….

I think you are correct as far as Swedish goes. But our word comes from the German.

In German, fahrt means exit. Hence, exit gas.

Early Bimmers have the word "fahrt" embossed on the ignition switch to indicate where to turn the key to remove (exit) it.
