Hurst Lightning Rods Shifter 3 Speed Auto on 2040-parts.com
Cedar Hill, Missouri, US
This is a used set of lightning rod shifters. The chrome has pits and some scratches. The two shifter pins have been repaired on the middle and right side. It appears someone did not know how to use these and forced it.
It is repaired and functions properly. The part that moves the cable must be lined up to the main rod and adjusted so the button can be depressed and move the side linkage arm. If not it won't work properly.It is important to set them up to the transmission so the shift smoothly. These are for a 3 speed auto not the 4 speed auto. Left rod is for PRND middle moves D-2 and the right is 2-1.
What is in the pics are what I have. The cable u can use is available it is just a common gm auto cable about 29" long. they are about $50.00 at rock auto.
There is no floor mount bracket it is a flat bottom. You can fab your own for application. The plate is for camaro/firbird plate but someone has cut out the center.
I purchased 2 of these and have kept the best one and selling this one.
These are getting harder to find and were very cool for there time.

Brilliance A3: China’s BMW X1 substitute. A Rose by any other name?
Sun, 27 Mar 2011The Brilliance A3 - China's BMW X1 Lookalike The easy headline would be ‘Brilliance A3 – BMW X1 Clone’. But that would be a little unfair to Brilliance. Western car makers – as we’ve mentioned many times before – are compelled by Chinese law to partner with a local car maker if they are to trade in China.
Volkswagen debuts Jetta TDI Value Edition
Thu, 09 Jan 2014There was already a lot to like about the diesel Volkswagen Jetta TDI CleanDiesel, most of it having to do with fewer fillups, and so for 2014 Volkswagen is debuting a new Jetta TDI Value Edition that slices more than $2,000 off the price of entry. And speaking of the price of entry, it is now $22,115 for Volkswagen's smallest diesel sedan in the U.S. Yes, it seems Volkswagen has finally created a car for automotive journalists as well as members of the biodiesel-brewing crowd who are tired of fixing old Mercedes-Benz W123 station wagons from the 1970s, though we probably have the diesel Chevrolet Cruze to thank for the appearance of this particular model.
Dax Shepard goes full throttle
Thu, 12 Jul 2012Dax Shepard leaned on his Hollywood acting friends to fill out the cast of his new movie, Hit and Run, that hits theaters on Aug. 24. (Watch the movie trailer here.) But he wrote the script with his "stars" in mind--a hot-rodded 1967 Lincoln Continental and a Tatum Baja 1000 racer that he keeps in his garage.
