73 Z28 4 spd 10k miles ebay

OK, so assuming that the subject dark red car does indeed have an incorrect shift knob....it's hard to imagine how or why such an otherwise unmolested and meticulously maintained car would have a replacement shift knob You wouldn't think the original would wear out or become damaged. Could GM production have switched to the superseded knob by early February of 73? I'm not beating the car up, just trying to understand.

Norwood was still cycling through 1972 parts stocks at that time.

IMO that Knob is technically incorrect for a 73, but was installed with it at the factory.

Here is the hard to find shift knob for the 73. It is pretty wimpy!
