Default shifter

so as some of you may know im looking into doing a c4 to t-10 or t-5 swap. i love the classic hurst white ball shifter look, but my favorite shifter of all time is the mopar pistol grip like in the cudas. man that is one hot shifter, what do you guys think of one in a 65 stang, i think there isnt really a doubt that it would look a little weird, but i wonder....

do you mean the one they used on the hurst shifter in the Boss 429's?

I think that'd look pretty cool on a 65.

otherwise you could always custom a shifter handle yourself

ok, hadn't seen one before. I like it. Black carbon fiber finish?
that's kindof what i was thinking when I said custom. check inside our rally car...great to grip, but better with the angled handle bar like your pic. that sits on a std hurst toploader shifter and cost like $15bucks
