As far as I know all 69 RR's came with the wood ball.

No but it was a very common Day 2 modification.

wood normally, Hurst t-handle if you like the feel for the road and Day 2 restorations, or the ceramic ball sometimes found in the many option cars and coronets.

Here's mine

4-speed cars had the white ceramic ball w/the shift pattern. auto on the floor had the woodgrain ball w/black button on top.

Woodgrain ball for all Hurst shifters from 1968-1969. Pistol grip from 1970 on. White ball is incorrect, and so is the 8 ball.

I dunno...

You guys would know better I guess but I thought wood or white ball with the shift pattern were the 2 OEM possibilities.

Makes sense, I have a Hurst shifter and a wood grain ball in a 69, as seen in the a previous post.
