------This is not intended to be negative as the car appears very nice and seems to have great paper, but is that the style shifter that would have come in a Duece??? I really would like to expand my knowledge of these cars........Bill S

I believe that car is owned by Mr. John Ohler. It was at SCR9. It was in the center of a nova poster with other nice novas from different years back when Reggie owned it.

Yes Bill,
That is the correct 4177 shifter for the car. I am far from being an expert but the Nova Deuce web site has been a great source of information for me! How did you make out on the Z/28 from Texas?

Hi, Richard,,, Thanks for the comeback!!! I bought a rotisserie and am having a local guy do just the paint after blasting. I just didnt have enough in the budget for a painter that I wont have to watch like a hawk. He can do the work but I will have to be all over him to keep him on track. Why is it that so many talented paint and body guys minds seem to wander???......Bill S

I never met a top flight bodyman/painter that wasnt an addict or alcoholic. Most of the old timers did it for years without proper ventilation equipment. It would be like sniffing glue for 10-20 years. The mind tends to wander off after block sanding the same car 10 times. Cant smell from the bondo dust and fumes, cant hear from the air hammer, cant see from welding without a shield, and cant think straight from the paint fumes and chemicals absorbing into the skin. Most of the best from the fifties died of lead poisoning. I won an award from Dupont but Ill be dammed if I can remember where I put it......

Not nitpicking but just fyi, that's not the correct shifter, nor boot. The original one was made from round stock (same shifter stick as a bench seat GTO) and the boot was the same as a 69 Camaro, with a non plated ring. The one in this car looks to be an aftermarket Hurst rectangular stick and an aftermarket Hurst shifter boot.
