1965 442 Post Coupe - New Addition

[60sStuff]

So if someone wanted to modify this cool old ‘65 muscle car from it’s stock 2 speed Jetaway to a whatever 3 speed auto, or overdrive unit what happens to the factory steering column and shift indicator window ??

How far does one butcher a classic?

Sorry for my vent, but I have seen this happen way to often on these types of cars.

People who have the done the swap generally use the Lokar linkage kit. as far as the shift indicator lens, I would leave it alone as well as the column as I wouldn't be shifting it. I'd want it to be a swap that wouldn't permanently alter anything whatsoever.

Nothing is decided yet. The Jetaway might stay. We'll see...

I have used products from Shiftworks....they make quality stuff.

looks like the universal unit is for you...they even have indicator plates you can swap in.
