70 chevelle factory hurst shifter?

[396/425blr]

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

Muncie that always locked up for 70
Chevelle bench or bucket.

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?

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?

Yeah,

Weld the Muncie handle to a Hurst shifter!
With the boot on, no one will know....

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