64/65 Shifter Handle

[Chi Town Runner]

Does anyone have a photo of a 64/65 Dodge/Ply 4-speed shifter handle?
I believe it was sort of a Lazy "S" that had the shfter ball relativley high.

I seen a photo of an A-12 (White/Black with Pewter interior) on this site under the A-12 heading.

I'm trying to determine what shifter handle he had on his car.

Thanks

Frank

Big Mike's picture looks the same as the one I had in my '64 Max Wedge

Here's the one from a 64 dodge 426 street wedge bench seat 4 speed car, I can only assume it's original, I haven't found anything that's not numbers matching on the car yet.
Now I was NOT the original owner, so I guess there's always the possibility that it was changed at some time, I will say the jam nut under the shift knob looks kinda hokey to me, I would think the factory would have come up with something better than this.

Thanks to all.

Big Mike, that's the one I was thinking about.


AAQAR, I think that was the one used in console cars but the lazy "S" was the one I was thinking of.

Found it here - http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=HUU-3916789

Mystery solved.

Thanks again

here what you need, for a 64. The shifter balls were ivory in color.

Ooooh;engine ****. NICE! Love the stand to hold it all.

I see you're installing yours from the bottom;wish I could raise mine(safely) enough to do that. Another thread,another time-no intent to hijack this one.

That shifter is also called a 'S' shifter, I believe it's a late '64 and '65 b-body shifter. There was also another shifter in '63 and early '64 b-body called a 'Banana" shifter. I believe is a better looking shifter and a little less sloppy than the 'S' shifter, but a lot harder to find, and pretty rare........

Big Mike's picture is taken from Bob Mosher's site. He always installs the engine from the bottom.

As for the shifter handles: the S-shaped are for non-console cars. The one shown by AAQAR2 could be a console handle.

Hi had a 65 Dodge Coronet back in the day, there was a nut under the ball on the shifter.

Have one on shelf same as shifter in 1965 non-console.

All yeah, it's a T-85 non consule shifter. This is what's refered to as the " Banana Shifter ". I've only seen two of these shifters in my time,,, the one in my car, and this one on e-bay. The last time I talked to Wayne Brewer of Brewers Performance, he said he bought a '64 Plymouth 4-speed car new in early 1964, and his had the T-84 shifter handle in it. He was surprised that mine had the same shifter. He said they were extremely rare..and it's only about 3/8" shorter than the 'S' shifter. There's one on e-bag right now, here's the number if you want to see what one looks like, e-bag # 120580099791.... The shifter mechanism and linkage are also pictured. Very nice $$$ !!!!! :yes:

That's a neat shifter. It's almost like the S style shifter just without the final bend. I guess I do recall seeing something like that on the 62-63's.

That's the same as the one in my 63 4 speed (T10)...mine just needs a rechrome to get it looking that good! I heard they were quite rare...

Yes, hang on to it . It is the best looking shifter in my opinion. And they are very scarce.......

 

[crossram 426]

here's a photo of the difference between the two...

If anyone here has an original ivory colored shift knob for sale in good condition I'd be interested in buying it. Thanks.
