I have a original black plastic one from a 78. Is that the same as for a 76?

This topic comes up every once in a while.

There is a company that makes cool lighted standard shift ***** and they are supposed to be coming out with one for an automatic (button)

Check them out... http://www.flameball.com

The FAQ section has a bunch of stuff on when they are supposed to be out, but apparently nobody has a clue.

15 to 20 years ago all the vette mail order companies carried them. They were nice looking wood and you could buy your year logo button, star burst, crossed flags etc, that you glued into a recess in the button. They were very nice looking. Mine just broke recently. Had to dig out my old stock black one.

I e-mailed the folks at Flameball as well to see what the deal was on their shifters. Hopefully they have one that's compatible for C3's, that would be sweet :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
