Why does a car like this have a Hurst shifter in it? At least get the adapter to put a factory handle on it.

"Customers pay good money to have a car restored and then they are not restored correctly"........maybe its correct to what the customer wanted?

I do not understand why guys slap on a 1969 Steering Wheel horn shroud with 69 emblem on a 1970 Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
Repro dash housings seem to be the norm too on there restos.
If i am buying that caliber and price range of a car i want that stuff on the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] There are many other things wrong but i will stop babiling.

Always a possibility but then it is a supposed real LS6 convert so why skimp especially on items that cost pennies when compared to the overall cost.

I would venture 85% of owners that have cars like this restored entrust the shop to install the correct components- sure can get embarrassing when judged. Why don't they? Some shops are more interested in the amount of profit,than reputation..some simply don't know any better. What do you call the guy at the bottom of his graduating class in med school?

Could not have said it better Mark! I saw MANY of these cars that were done just like that with the buyers owing and awing over how perfect some of these cars were. It took every ounce of self control to not open my mouth and go down the list but I restrained myself. If I have said it once, I will say it a hundred times more. You get what you pay for. That black car would have brought considerably more had it been done right. It brought a lot more than it should have! The GB LS6 brought great money considering the color and trans because It WAS restored correctly.
