My 1985 came with a factory shifter that if not made by Hurst, certainly duplicates the positive, spring-loaded gates of the Hurst.
I believe that a lot of folks have mentioned Summit as a source for the shifter. A few of the bigger vendors offer it, but they really tack on the Corvette tax, so shop around. It is important to get the correct installation kit for the Corvette, as that's where the major difference exists.
Many of the vendors also carry the direct replacement shifter handle that bolts in place of the Hurst handle and looks perfectly stock.
Good luck, and let us know what you decide to do.
