Default Re: Hurst white ball vs. Hurst T-handle

I have a white Hurst Tee handle which I used on the Chevelle. The handle had yellowed with age. Fine sand paper took the yellow coat off and clear coat made the handle look like new. They are so easy to change that you can use whatever suits your fancy that day. Our 396 car has a Hurst box with a Muncie shift handle. That works fine too and looks stock.

I have a white Hurst T-handle (courtesy of GTO DON) that looks and feels great. Also have a Hurst gold fleece t-handle (NOS) and sometimes I use my ball with the seam in it. But most of the time I like the vintage white T-handle!

What is the gold fleece T handle? I have a brass T handle I picked up at a swapmeet that I thought was homemade. It is VERY heavy and serves as my keg tap handle at the moment.

The Gold fleece T handle is a fuzzy surface actually it's called flocking, Hurst also made them in black.
I just bought an NOS gold one on ebay a few days ago.(Nostalgia)
I used to put these on all my cars back in the 70's and early 80's.
Until I got ANAL on factory correct restorations.
