Hi Rainer:
His offer is a joke if he expects you to kick in money. Chevelle muncie shifters are a dime a dozen and were supplied over many years and tens of thousands of installations. Your shifter is 68/69 big chev only and is not easy to find when you need one especially with the rods and support. I will send you a pm.
tks Joe

not completely up on value of Impala muncie 4spd shifters, but I would imagine using one would kinda feel like stirring a 55 gallon drum of cantalopes with a drive shaft.
try to swap it for a Hurst!

I have had the original muncie shifter for my 65 Chevelle "restored" and I still can't stand it.

(It's on a shelf in the garage)

I'm sorry, you asked for the value, not an opinion. I know for sure it's rare and worth a lot more than a chevelle shifter as stated above.

Thanks for the input, Joe. Just to be clear, the guy said I would be getting a shifter that was pretty much complete and ready to install, minus a handle, after I send my shifter and $200. Still, from what you're saying the deal is still lopsided.

Is there really a difference in the shifter unit and the shift rods? I could easily imagine differences in the handles and backdrive linkages between body styles, but since the transmissions themselves and where they mount to the crossmember are the same, I wouldn't think there would be any difference in the shifter and rods

In all honestly we are talking apples and oranges.
Not a great pic but this is is the shifter out of my 70 chevelle and a spare for my brothers 68 impala.

One rod the 1/2 is the same. Chevelle mounts to the cross member with the front tab to the right impala to the left, stablizer rods are different lengths and handles are different.

Handles impala/chevelle console then impala/ chevelle bench

Bare shifter with no mounting bracket and rods I think are the same but that is it.
That is why there is normally at least a 500.00 difference in price when you do see an impala complete shifter vs chevelle.
The reverse lock out set up for impala is in a class all of it's own and just about impossible to find complete.
