badazz shifter

I'd like to replace my stock 87 auto shifter , wobbly and ugly, with something that looks really cool, any body know of one that works well? Fabbing it in is not an issue, just dont want to have ta reach up to it.

I always wanted the early 80's Camaro auto shifter ****, it's more of a sporty looking ball.

All the aftermarket shifters sit high , hand drops easy from wheel to shifter for racing but appearance not to everyone's taste

I had this in my '87

Ratchet style , one gear at a time so no more missed shifts

I remember back in high school you'd always have someone with a po5 4 banger mustang and a b&m megashifter or a monster tach

I remember when it was popular to change the 3 speed column shifter to one of those universal floor shifters, didnt make it any better, but all the other kids thought it was 'cool'
