70 chevelle factory hurst shifter?
 
was a hurst shifter a factory option on a 70 chevelle? if so could you get it with either bench seat or bucket/console set up? i have seen round bar hurst shifters in them, but not sure if they came that way new? dennis

Re: 70 chevelle factory hurst shifter?
 
This topic brings up a good point. Can anyone tell me why
"The General" would offer a Hurst shifter for the Camaro,
but not the Chevelle or Nova? Were the different design
teams in that much competition with each other that the
children wouldn't share with one another? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Another one of those issues was the hide away wipers.
Camaro & Nova had the wipers exposed, while the Chevelle
had them hidden behind the hood. Why not use the design
feature accross the entire product line? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Yeah,

Weld the Muncie handle to a Hurst shifter! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif
With the boot on, no one will know.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Ground Up has a Muncie Shift Handle and Knob with Hurst linkage set-up that works great. Factory Looks with better than factory performance!

Howard,

Do you have any information on this shifter? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
Part number, link possibly? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
