While I totally agree with you, for the 66-70, they offer a much better asthetic to the car than the weenie push button stick offered from Ma. Seriously, that had to be one of the lamest shifters of all time, esp. for auto performance cars in the very height of performance car history. you can't blame us for our envy, when you got the sexy pistol grip! lol. The big bulb pushbutton does have a kind of dorky nostalgic look, but doesn't convey performance at all. The typewriter dash was much more macho.
