Any car restored well looks good to me. That color combo of yours is quite an attention getter. Keep it as is and let the fellow who buys it off of you make the change - it would not be hard to do. Leave the column shifter alone and there are NO stories. I assure you, you will get alot of buzz at the 1st car show you go to. Now find out who the 1st owner was and get the low down on why he/she ordered it that way!
Have fun.
