I recently picked up a 4 speed trans for my T/A 'vert project, and with it came an original '70 slip in pistol grip and the shifter box. I already have a NOS bolt in style handle, so I don't really need the 70 shifter. It is in good condition but needs to be restored. Pics coming tonight.
What do these go for on the open market as I rarely see them for sale anymore?
If I decide to keep it, who can do a proper restoration on it? Brewers? Passon?
Thanks!
Erik
I send all my shifters back to Hurst for a restoration. They rechrome the handle as well :twothumbsup:

Got a link or contact info? I have heard for many years of Hurst offering this service, but a bit of googling only turned up "shifterdoc.com" and they specify that they are not affiliated with Hurst.
Would like to sent the one for my Challenger in for the treatment, especially if they are rechroming the handle!
Any vin on that trans

There is but it's not for sale.
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know the part numbers for the slip-in vs. the bolt-in pistol grip handles? I bought an NOS pistol grip handle in the late 80s or early 90s. The part number on the box is 3467732. At that time, I didn't know there was any difference in them over the years.
Looks like this one was originally shipped to Arrow Motors in West New York, New Jersey. Has a UPS stamp on it dated February 1974.

That's cool. :cheers: IIRC, I bought this from a guy that worked at Hackensack Spring through a friend of a friend for $50. Thought that I would eventually use it on my 70 Cuda, but after doing a bit more searching on the web it looks like the one I have is for the later bolt-in mechanism.
$50.00 for an NOS handle was a heck of a deal back then.
In the mid 80's I was paying $115.00 dealer/trade price for the NOS bolt-ins.
Part number for 1970 only slide-in handle was 2996461 ,but they went NS-1 in about 1978 and number superceded to 3467732.
So any opinions on the current market value of a 1970 shifter handle and box setup?
unrestored $150-$200 :alan2cents:
What makes it a 1970 only setup? The slip-in handle?
In my 40 years of working with Mopars I've never seen a bolt-on pistol grip in the wild... even
on the 1973 4sp Challenger we converted to auto in the late 80s (yes, sacrilege but the owner
sucked at driving stick and that is what he wanted) it was slip-in handle. Might have been replaced
somewhere in it's life, but the car looked unmolested.
Based on what I've been reading here I did some digging and it appears they did slip-in
for 1970 and 71. My 1973 parts info shows the bolt-on, with the part number 3467732
that mccannix refers to.
Yes, the slip in is for 1970 model year. 1971 may have seen some to use up inventory, but the switch to the bolt in was for the 1971 model year. I have never seen a slip in style on anything but a 1970.
My December 70 built 71 Challenger has a slip in shifter handle.

Interesting. I thought they would be worth more than that.
I guess it depends a lot on condition....I imagine the worst. You might get more if you ask for more...
WOW.....Maybe I'm way off.....here's a beat-up piece of crap handle for $300 USD :o
