C3 72 Big Block shifter
« on: January 23, 2014, 08:15:26 PM »

Hello Guys,

A friend of mine is looking for an original shifter for a 72 C3 Big Block for his car... or a after market one.. if he cannot get an original one... He had sent his box & shifter to the mechanic to install, and he lost it...hmmm... misplaced it or probably sold it ... :omg:

Anyway, if anyone has an original shifter with linkages etc, can you pm me in my inbox please..

Heres a pic from Ecklers... :drunk:

If he's looking for an original shifter then won't it be the GM Muncie one, not the Hurst replacements illustrated?

(although the Hurst shifters were very popular replacements)

Looks like Bfit is the go-to guy for this.



It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!

Ive got a hurst shifter complete with linkages out of my c2. $150 if you want it.
Somebody here should be able to tell you if it will bolt up to a c3.
I have a muncie in my car.
