69 Z28 shifter questions/value?

[William]

1969 Camaro factory Hurst shifters are valuable when they are complete with mounting plate, rods and levers. A shifter body with handle has some value but is not that hard to find.

Therein lies the problem.

The plate and rods are application specific and were only used in '69: Saginaw, Muncie sb and Muncie bb.

Saginaw stuff was all low-po, not much demand. Muncie sb includes Z/28 and SS350 [LM1?], worth a good buck. Muncie bb pieces are out of sight. Complete bb shifters with mounting plate and all 3 rods sell for thousands of dollars. It is not unusual to see just the lower lock rod sell for several hundred dollars.

wouldnt the 69 & 70 Z shifters be the same?
maybe just a different handle.

[William]

Nope, 1970 is different.

Worthy of note is that there is a Hurst shifter body/handle that is virtually identical to the 1969 Camaro unit but has a handle that is about 1" taller. Firebird?

Aren't the bb and z28 shifters and rods the same?? Just the mounting plate is different from what I have read. I do have a 70 shifter already and they are different-the 69 handle has two bends in the shift arm and the 70 only has one.

All '69 4-speeds used the same shifter body and handle. Saginaw, Muncie sb & Muncie bb all use different mounting plates.

Muncie rods:

reverse rod 302/350 3955771; 396/427 3955779
1st & 2nd rod 302/350 9791876; 396/427 3955775
3rd & 4th rod 302/350 9791885; 396/427 3955777
lower lock rod 302/350 3955773; 396/427 3955776

The bb rods are slightly longer than sb.
