Most likely, although there might be differences in the linkages, depending on whether the car in question has a Borg-Warner or a Muncie transmission. Best thing would be to check a Hurst application chart.

When I bought mine from Summit and I believe they only had one choice or model for the C3 Corvette with the factory 427. I paid about $200 for it and installed it myself. I borrowed a lift at a buddies service station and it took a couple of hours from start to finish.
The factory shifter is pretty adequate but the Hurst opens a whole different world. I rebuilt the factory shifter a year or more before so I knew what a good shifter felt like, The Hurst throws seem to be half the distance and the shifts are very precise. I had never installed a shifter before and it was much easier than I thought.
Like everything else from this C3 the original shifter is wrapped in grease and then vacuum packed. If someone wants to put it back in they are welcome to do so. I seriously doubt that I will ever put the factory shifter back on the C3. The Hurst is a great improvement for manual transmission C3 Corvettes.

Dual Gate Shifter
Seems most of the comments address shifters for manual transmissions. The dual gate is for an automatic.
The neutral/parking brake safety switch is around $70-$90.
I’m installing one in my ‘78 with a TH350. They’re almost as expensive used as new. There’s a $90 kit to convert a DG for the TH transmissions.
I’m hold off getting that until I see how my used DG wortks. I’m building a new console anyway’, so fit won’t be a problem.

The OP did not mention an automatic.
The manual transmissions them selves differ from the 60s to the 70s.
The early one had a stud coming out of the trans, that was flat on both sides.
The shift linkage lever it uses has a slot in it. And attaches with a nut.
The later trans's attach with a bolt. The part sticking out of the trans has two "nubs" round the bolt.
The Hurst or GM shift lever still has the slot in it, but the center has a larger round hole for the bolt.
IIRC this change happened somewhere around the 68-69-70 timeframe.
