Another Deuce part problem-shifter boot

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Hey Jim;
The shifter on the deuce is a unique item. The shifter mechanism itself is from a '69 Camaro Z28 non-console, the chrome arm is from a '69 GTO/Tempest with bench seat (Hurst arm #4177 to be exact), the boot/black bezel combination is also from a '69 camaro non-console. The boot has a double flange where it attaches to the trans tunnel, one flange on each side of the metal/rubber mat.

There were some deuces found with a second boot/bezel installed over top of the original GM one. This one is much larger, has a full 'accordian' boot style, and a chrome square on top of the boot with a red 'H' showing through. It is not known if this extra boot was installed as a hi-lite by Yenko, the participating dealer or by the original owners. Most cars with two boots are early cars, and they are just screwed to the top of the trans tunnel with sheet metal screws. My car had two boots/bezels, and all of the owners claim it was there when they bought the car - I left it with just the GM boot/bezel installed.

The shifter ball should be black as well. Even though most of us prefer the white ones, we install the black ones for the important shows.
Hope this helps,
M
