pistol grip

I used the shorter e-body pistol grip without any bends in my 1974 Dart I converted from an auto to a standard. I liked this shifter handle but I found that my leg couldn't really ever relax with this shifter in the car. My leg would rest against the handle and it was somewhat uncomfortable on long trips. Perhaps I could have fixed the with a different seat combination but I always wanted to try a different handle. I was running original style bucket seats in that car.

I loved having the pistol grip in the car and the shorter throw made it seem more sporty. I will have a pistol grip in all of my 4-speed cars. I will also have competition plus style hurst shifter mechanisms. I loved going through the gears and having the stop bolts on the shifter.
