Lets see your shifter knob

I am partial to the stock knob. I have several, and this is the one that I refreshed for use on the driver:

I can't find the exact picture, but this is close. Polished Walnut Shift Knob, Five Speed Pattern. This one is the 4-speed, but you get the idea. The second photo is of my previous knob, a Momo. While gorgeous, it was too far from stock.

Had an all chrome cheapo from AutoZone when I bought it. Then I bought this one from AutoZone. The mounting kit is a joke and puts the knob way too tall. Fortunately the guts of the knob are die cast. I used one of the mounting spacers included with the knob as a drill guide and drilled and tapped the inside of the knob. I still used the mounting spacer to help stabilize the knob 'cause the threads aren't too deep. I put loctite on the shifter threads to hold 'er on and keep it from rotating. It's rock solid and close to the stock height. It might be a little modern for some but it's a lot like the stock knob on my driver so it feels at home in my hand.

Ok, this one isn't mine (it's currently attached to a 70 on ebay). It is rather unique, to say the least.

I guess some people really do grab the bull by the horns after all!

Unique isn't the first word that comes to mind............

What I have now- 5-speed walnut knob from MSA- don't know if it's OEM or not. Looks MUCH better than in the picture.

I had this one on my car. Brown leather 5 spd shifter knob, but I decided to put my old one back on and sell this on ebay.

Hey Wingzro: whats the shifter knob you have? I found this under the passenger seat when I gutted the car to do the carpet.
