I had one on my 69 and it worked great, but like the previous poster said it seemed like the shift handle was located too far to the left. It hit the console in reverse. I was able to shim it to where it worked OK but I wasn't proud of that solution.

Get the one that Corvette Central sells. It has a greater offset and fits better.
I have one in my car and I'm very happy with it.
The other one that's available is slightly different with less offset and requires shimming according to the people that have used it.
Here's a link to a thread about this subject.

Yes. The one on Lupigiato's car is chrome, because it's a 68. 68's (and 64-67's) used chrome *****, while 69-81's used a black chrome ball. Other than the type of chrome, used on the ball, the diameter and thread is the same for all 64-81 Corvette manual shifter *****.
