Another Deuce part problem-shifter boot

[MikeA]

Is this a Hurst Super Boot? I threw the red plastic piece out years ago and painted the bezel black (some rust on it).

How about the boot on an auto deuce.Mine has the old style super shifter boot with square metal band screwed to floor.What color and style shift nob?Earl

Hurst used the same Super boot for both the 4 speeds and automatic. I see used Hurst Super Boots with the red H at swap meets occasionly but are becoming rarer. Most are junk. Hint: Buy a new Super boot, the boot and the ring that holds it to the floor are the same as the old one, and replace the engraved plate with the swap meet used one.

I have a Hurst Auto Stick that I bought at a swap meet. It has the big boot with a chrome piece that has a "H" cut in it. Under the Chrome is a red piece of flat plastic. So it shows as a red "H". The shift knob is black with a duel gate pattern engraved in it. This looks like the one in the old Hurst ads.

JoeC;
You have the correct shifter for the a/t Yenko Deuce Novas. All original a/t cars found (except dual gate optioned cars) have the Hurst Auto Stick shifter, dual pattern engraved in white on a black knob, very long chrome arm, large black boot with square stainless retaining ring, and the stainless plate with 'H' cutout / red plastic underneath. It took us awhile to determine that this type of shifter was the correct one because there are only 19 a/t cars found, and not all of them had the Auto Stick. The shorter stick, dual gate shifter was an $80 option on top of the $85 a/t option and you didn't even get the console!!

mnyenko;
I have a picture of your car's interior, it appears that you have the correct shifter installed.

Here is a picture of an NOS Hurst Shifter Super Boot I just pulled off the shelf.The plastic covering obscured the photo a little.

Dave, Is the Hurst boot sold today use the same rubber part and will the old trim parts fit on the new rubber boot?
