Is anyone producing a correct woodgrain shiftknob for 68-69 hurst shifters?
All I keep finding are the old repros that are way too dark in color.

I thought bea parts was planning to make this part a while back?

We were going to, I wasn't successful in finding a really good original to copy from. The current supplier of these re-released them so I shelved the idea.

Even if I could find a decent original example, I'm not sure the market could support them. However, I am a glutten for pain, if I had one I would make them.

If you're a glutton for pain, reproduce some C-Body sill plates while you're at it!

Not only is the color/grain not quite right, the 4 speed pattern is molded into the part when it is made, versus being heat melted into the ball as the originals were. I had 2 NOS ones some years back.

Yes on the melted in pattern, i believe you can tell a difference on the bottom where the threaded insert is put in also..........BE&A is that all you need is pics? I currently have 2 NOS willing for pics, not really to lend out.


I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Was that woodgrain knob used on all 68-69 cars or just B-Body. What did the A-body use?

Late 1968 cars, A & B body, as the earlier 1968 had the Inland shifter until Chrysler realized they were missing the mark with Hurst for marketing. Not to mention the Inland left a lot to be desired for racing.
BTW where is Mike Ross? Kind on thought he would have been back on the offer for a correct knob? Maybe not enough demand to offset the cost?

so does that mean they were woodgrain in late 68? In 1967 did they use white or black?

Black on 66 and 67 inlands, also 68, until the Hurst showed up, than woodgrain. Not positive on month of switch to Hurst, after February I believe. There were complaints/issues with no reverse lockout which was one rumor for the reverse light on the dash in 69 4 speed cars. I will defer to an expert to further elaborate on this issue............
