I also had no idea. Pretty cool. There was a rumor that Chevrolet tried a racheting shifter in '69 but I have never personally seen one.

Hot Rod had it in there magazine 20 years ago as a cheap part to build a budget drag car. I got to use one last year when a friend bought a cool 80 Z28 in factory copper. I have since removed it for a B&M shifter. We boxed everything nice and put it in storage.

These were first used on the '69 Grand Prix's as well... like the previous years Hurst auto shifter that was standard on the '67 &amp; '68 GTO, the GP's even had the 1-2-3 cast into the right side console plate to remind you of this feature.

This shifter was the standard automatic shifter in all Camaro's with a console starting in 1973. I am not sure when but I think they dropped the ratcheting function sometime late in the the 2nd Generation production run.
