Default Hurst shifter stick?

I'm looking to buy one of these curved Hurst shifter sticks for my Competition Plus.
Does anyone have the part number?

Thanks, Pete

To get a good answer (sorry, I can't help you) you'll have to be a little more specific.

Does your handle bolt to the shifter mechanism (newer style) or is it an integral part of the shifter (old style)?

Pete:

Based on my going through the same search a couple of years ago --you're not going to find that stick in a bolt-on version.

The short, curved stick is only available in the early style, with a welded-on stick. They do show up on Ebay frequently, and are fairly easy to overhaul. Rechroming the stick makes it look like new.

It's a great look. Have one on my '65 driver coupe and love it.

I think what he means is simply buy a used complete shifter on ebay and then redo it. That's what I had done. Bought a used old one where the handle is not bolted on. The shifter are easy to take apart and clean up.

example of a nice restorable one:

I prefer the look of the short straight Hurst stick. The curved one always reminds me of hot rodded cars from years ago.....usually with a T-handle.

Hello

I hate the HURST shifters especially the "old ones", I hate that it shifts perfectly every time...

LoL

I bought this from a guy I use to work with. He bought it for his New 1963 Fuel Injected Corvette Sting Ray. He installed it the second week of buying it brand new. He was doing some spirited driving against a 1957 Chevy. He shifted the stock car shifter and over shifted and couldn't get it back into gear. He went down to the speed shop and bought a brand new HURST shifter and replaced it. Kept the it in there until he sold the car in the 70's. I bought it in 2004 for the hefty sum of twenty bucks. It was in pretty good shape. I had the stick rechromed. Then rebuilt it...

Its like a shifting dream and sold the original shifter I never liked it...

Thanks, Pete


Pete... Hurst shifter stick #5387201 is as close to what I see in your pic that is flat to the ball, but it's only 6.38" long.

Why do you want the bent stick?? Looks or performance??

I drive my 62 with a 1966 Hurst welded curved stick. Plus several other solid axle vettes, including straight sticks on the track and it does not matter to me which shifter is on it.

If for looks, buy an old curved stick and weld it to a modern handle.
