My buddy had a '72 GT in blue. 302 and 3 on the floor.
I chanced upon a T&C Top Loader and shifter for next to nothing for the Comet.
Easy swap.
We went out to the illicit street activities one evening.
Greg launched the Comet, made the first to second shift and the shifter came off in his hand :eek:.
Those MoFoCo shifters were made with tubing.
The weld broke at the bottom and off it came.
He drove the Comet home with a long phillips screwdriver carefully inserted into what was left of the shifter mechanism.
