Title: Shift lever needed for mustang 5 speed car
Post by: nickh11 on March 09, 2014, 01:10:25

I have a 1964 230 sl.  It was converted to have a mustang 302 with a 5 spd transmission.  It looks factory from the outside.  The only issue I have is it uses the mustangs shifter.  I would like to use the top of the top of an original Mercedes Shifter and weld it to a mustang lower shifter.  The goal is to give it the look of a factory car.  Any suggestions?  Anyone have an old pitted shift lever they don't plan to use?  Thanks Nick

Nick,
It just so happens I have just such a lever that I got from Joe Alexander years ago.  It also happens to be broken off just above the shift ball so perfect for you.  Since Joe threw it in on a deal I will make the same offer to you.  Message me an address and I will send it off to you free of charge.  I will be away from home until the first but I can send it after that.
