Title: Pistol grip shifter "Grip"
Post by: LinceCuda on July 02, 2017, 06:24:19 AM
Yesterday I saw a Challenger with a pistol grip shifter and it had real wood grips. So did E-Bodies ever come with real wood grips or for that did any Mopar with a pistol grip come with wood grips? I asked him about the wood and he said the grips were already on the shifter when he bought the car, they looked like cherry wood to me but I really don't know, what I do know is the shifter really look great. :)

Original E-Bodies came with plastic wood grips.  However, there are several people that offer super nice and custom color real wood grips.

He's got some amazing stuff.  Any idea what he charges?  I'm sure it's piece by piece but could it be a couple hundred or a couple thousand?  Just curious.  Thanks

Dave

Ihave had 2 made, not sure who made them since it was a while ago. 1 was maple with green stain and another was walnut. Both look great. I will look back and try to attach a link. The price was about 150.

That's who I got mine from also.
Great quality.  He did have some left that he wanted to sell, maybe you'll like what he has and get a deal also.

Those are some really nice looking grips, I really liked the Texas Black and the Custom died black walnut. Couldn't see the guys grips on CC but he had some great feedback and prices. Thanks again guys for the leads. :)

I can't remember what I paid for the Idle Hands ones in the picture, but I really like them for shows because there are no screws in them and that gives them a really clean look.  :veryexcited:
