That one looks like a 65-66 Impala shifter.  Of the available reproductions, it's the closest to our GS's.
The bend for a GS is near the middle, on this one the bend is much lower.
It would work fine, look pretty darn close to original, but isn't 100% correct.

Thanks Walt , I wasn't sure.  Saw it and thought it might work for someone. Been a long time since I've had a four speed shifter.
 Luckily, I have the original for the three speed for the post car. Needs plating as most do.
