Great story!! I have a 65 fury 2 I intend to put a hand shaker in.
Have not fully decided on the engine but........ How do a 354 hemi
sound? Sounds different I know. But I'm defiantly different!
Hahaha. Thoughts?

Back in the day, while i was in the army, i put a
4-speed from a 69 GTX into my 4 door 65 Fury one.
It had a shifter
that was labeled Hurst. The shifter was also made to come out the center of
the console.
It took a few sessions in a vise, bending it to make it
work in a bench seat car.
It ended up far enough from the dash on the
2-3 shift, but as often as not it would not cleanly move the second
gear
lever back to neutral and pick up the third gear lever....it would leave the
transmission in second and the
shifter jammed up.
My older
sister can still laugh herself to tears describing the time this happened,
when a gave a ride to her and her to
be husband. It really cracks her up
telling the part when i had to get down in the snow and the mud to reach
under the
car to unjam the linkage.
I had a Hurst Competition Plus
shifter in the car by next weekend. The original "Hurst" shifter did not
have the gear stop
bolts and was a real POS compared to the Plus
shifter.
One could really pound the gears and the original plastic
t-handles could not stand the strain and i suspect i am not the only
one
that broke one of them.
That Plymouth was my first muscular car and
was a retired Arizona Highway Patrol car. Just another Mopar i should not
have gotten
rid of...

"Pushin'
the wrong button" for some reason reminded me of an old joke. Must
have been about '65, when our good friends in Washington had the makers go
to the same shift pattern.
Seems there was this fella who was kinda
mixin' it up out on the highway with someone who seemed pretty serious so
he "just shoved it on up into R for race!" :-D

Yes the same "Knuckle buster" description for the '65s. I put that ad in the "puzzlers" collection because I had not heard that phrase in a long time.
Push button trans are more civilized, unless you punch the wrong button. LOL
Thanks,

Not sure about the 65's, but the long Hurst shifter in the old Road
Runners used to get sloppy enough that you would hit your knuckles on the
dash during a vigorous 3rd gear shift !
