3 speed Hurst floor shifter installed in my Barracuda with 6 banger.

My dad bought a Hurst 'universal shifter' for my first 65 Barracuda. I dont know WTH this thing was meant for but surely it wasnt for an automatic!!! Just a straight pole shifter with a slight bend back like a pistol grip and a T handle. The bottom was literally a pivot on the floor and the thing extended through the floor and attached straight to the shifter arm linkage. No reverse lock out, no park indicator, just a stick out the floor. I had to pull it back and bump it up twice to find D in a hurry. Also threw it into R a few times driving, luckily the 727(!) just stalled the motor when I did that.
