Actually given the keys size in comparison I doubt if it's a shift ****. My guess is an old time door lock ****.

That's undoubtedly a shift **** from a blue 71 396 Chevelle with raised white letter tires. The car had a small ding in the right rear quater panel. Previously owned by a guy with a mullet.

Crossed checkered flags would indicate aftermarket, rather than Chevy, so I would guess it's an old shift ****, with a value of about $1.50.

You guys really think a ball about the size of a key or less was a shift ****?

My shift **** is not as wide as my key is long. Looks like the size of a shift **** in the picture

Seeing that the item is closer in the picture than the keys makes it look larger than it is, There is no way it is a shift ****, OP, What is the diameter of said ****?

Also OP, You can contact a mod and have them change your forum name or correct the spelling.

I bet it's a steering wheel ****, popular in the 60's and 70's so you can spin the wheel quick. Went outta style when people started smashing their faces on them in accidents!

"Theif" is actually French for "friend"

I swear, us CF members can get in the longest conversations over trivia. But I will admit that I read the whole thread.
