There have been a couple of cars I have wished I still had. Still got the original wife though. lol

Good luck with the '65,

I found this thread while searching for info on installing a floor shifter in a column shifted car. The shifter in my Skylark is like the one below. Can anyone tell me what this shifter came out of?

Looks like a 1967 shifter.
The lever goes thru the floor at the shifter to accommodate the longer ST400 transmission.
There was a sheetmetal cover/ floor hump that goes along with it to cover the hole in the floor.

Thanks, I was considering getting a cable kit from shiftworks but it looks like they are just for the earlier shifters. Ad shows a picture of the earlier shifter on their add for the conversion but says 64 to 67. Maybe the 67's used the earlier shifter for the 300 trans and the one I have for the 400.

Hey EZ,  please dont git tooo excited yet, but, ...I  MAY HAVE an extra 65-66 auto floor shifter... MAY HAVE are the key words. ya see, I have several 65-67 auto consoles in various degrees of condition.... I just have to check if I have shifters for each console in stock...
IF SO, I MAY BE interested in partial trade your 67 for my 65? 
Like I said, dont get too happy yet, I have to check next time Im at my storage...

Wheelz, I'll probably use the one I have. I already have it mounted on the hump and have ordered a cable. May have to do some fabing but thats the fun part.
