After reviewing the shifter - it appears as though the handle could rather easily be changed out or modified. There is simply a pressed in pin (nearest carpet) that would need to be removed in order to get the handle out.



And looking from the passenger side:




I included this last picture to show the size of the console.



Hope this helps.

very helpful. the car im researching is a bench seat nova that i believe used a hurst dual gate. to clear the bench, im thinking the shifter was swapped with a longer sloped version. appreciate the photos kent.

Not sure this applies, but Hurst auto sticks like were used in the Yenko deuces were sometimes referred to as dual gate shifters, as you could either put it in the drive position and it would shift automatic, or follow the shift pattern on the ball and shift it manually. Don called them dual gates in his deuce ads and the above explaination is what Marlin and I decided on as no actual dual gates like found in Camaros, or Chevelles have been found in a deuce. That application would be more logical, and appropriate I would think for a bench seat nova.
The actual Hurst give away car in the ad for auto stick shifters was a Nova.
