Default Stick Shifters

Ciao from Italy
Which type of stick shifter I can mount on my 77 C3?
I like

Cheers

Just to be clear, you have a 1977 C3 with an automatic. Is that correct? Can you post an image of what you have?

I have no specific advice to give. My 1980 C3 with a manual transmission (often called a "stick shift" in the US) has a Hurst shifter, but that won't help you if you don't have a clutch pedal.

If you can get past the crude jokes, this review shows the (automatic) Hurst Shifter in action in a 1977 Corvette Restomod.

That is a very beautiful car, with a very tastefully modded interior. All black or all red are too much, but what you have is just right. I especially like the radio delete panel.

I hope the video helped. This may be the link Bats was referring to:

I've never seen a '77 Corvette with "Stingray" script emblems on the side fenders, though they look nice. Otherwise, the car certainly appears to be a '77 model.
