Default Re: Super rare Hurst Ram 4 Shifter NOS complete

The history of these "straight-line" shifters is interesting. Mr. Gaskest, who loved to challenge Hurt's dominance in the shifter market, actually introduced their version first and it even won "Best New Product" at the SEMA show that year. About six months later, Hurst released their version of the straight-line shifter. Eventually, Mr. Gasket even purchased Hurst.
