A-Body Hurst Comp Plus Reference Pics.

Is that the correct Hurst aftermarket A body non-console shift stick as well? It looks different to the shifters shown in the original post and also in Matthon's - ie. it hooks back more. Just wondering what is "correct", your's looks more suited to my needs but I guess they are probably no longer produced by Hurst.

Yes, it is the same stick. It is NOT removeable. Same as Matthons. My guess is that Hurst sold them until about '75 or so. Then Mr. Gasket sold them for a couple years after that.
This is pure speculation, but I am guessing there was little to no market for A-body Hurst Competition plus shifters. After the factory shifters started to pile up in junkyards, Hurst quit making the specific replacement pieces. All factory cars had them except for those 2 1/2 years, and people just got a nice one out of a junkyard for their car when they trashed the inland. Back in the day, I saw A-body cars in junkyards with the sticks still in them rusting away. No demand.
