Re: 67 Camaro Build
Here are our three recently acquired shifters with the one on the left being an early style. As previously mentioned, the earlier one is in great shape and will be left as is. An early version is easy to spot as the reverse lever is flat not round. Also, they are riveted together and I think might’ve come loose over time. Later versions got the welded tapered round bar lever.
In the same picture of the reverse lever rivets, notice the chrome stick on the right has been repaired (or customized) and the threads are much larger with a finer pitch than the original. Folks could slam the shifter so hard that they would bend or break the top right off! This particular stick will be replaced on the reassembly of this shifter.
