The auto stick was used in deuces.They were shipped as column auto. The Hurst shifter was dealer installed at Yenko. I have the original one in my car. Starts in neutral. No back up lights. Earl

How in the world could they get "no back up lights" passed
state inspection? Especially as a newly shipped vehicle.

Quite common on the deuces, especially those converted at Hurst - how ironic!

WOW - I would never have believed it if I didn't read
it on this site.

Hurst "Dual Gate" or "His and Hers" were an optional upgrade over a straight stick console shifter with the lockout button on the top on GTO's. 442's came with a column shifter, and the Hurst was only an optional upgrade like the GTO. Not sure if you could order it for a Tempest or Cutlass with a center console. Never available in Buick or Chevy cars. Yenko cars were dealer installed, converted from column shift, without the center console.
Chuck, JMO, but I would go with the column shifter. It just adds to the sleeper look of the car, and you can sneak it into 1 from D very discreatly.
