Nice looking shift ball!
I wonder if they could make their e-brake handle work for a C-3?

I agree, I have a billet aluminum one with black hex bolts and would love the e-brake to be similiar.

Thanks! Was in from '78 - '86, so I keep a little of memory around here and there. I'm not big on stickers, etc.. but this is nice - and looks pretty good.

Whalenshiftmachine does great work. Good to talk with and Creates/sends your order to you very quickly. I will def. order from him again.

Don't mean to be picky, but surely it's "Ag"?

Not to panic. just figure out what cool thing it stands for.

Like "Awesome Gorvette"

No, wait...

An afterthought: are you in fact fondling Al Gores **** every time you shift?
