PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THRU BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!
I've listed my lightning rod shifter before, but after receiving so many offers I decided to hold on to 'em. Well now I know for sure I am ready to let them go. I have this currently installed in my 1987 GN, it's a lot of fun and really makes people look twice. It looks like it could have been factory, this is something that I have to explain to people that are not too familiar with the turbo buicks. If you are not familiar, it has a dedicated shift lever for each gear, and is designed to work with out 200-4R transmissions. You do not always have to shift them, you can just throw it in overdrive and cruise and look cool.
Anyway, the chrome is in great shape, the shifter ball/knobs are in great shape, slight wear on the buttons but it has never been a problem for me. I'm aware that repros pop up on ebay from time to time, I've even seen machined stainless button replacements.
What I am including:
1) The Hurst Lightning Rod Shifters themselves.
2) The plate that the shifters mount to, and in turn, mounts to the transmission tunnel/body. It also locates/supports the front of the console, the stock shifter did this for you.
3) A reproduction of the original shifter cable (The stock GN transmission shift cable will not work).
4) You know the top upholstered part of the center console? That goes around the shifter? Well you have to cut the stocker up in such a way that you could not go back to the stock shift indicator, so I bought another one from a member and trimmed it as neccessary to fit the lightning rods. It's what you see in the picture, it's in terrific shape, look very good.
5) The special bracket that bolts to the transmission pan and holds the shift cable. Kind of a hard one to find.
6) And lastly, the metal top plate on the center console that holds the ashtray, goes around the shifter, and has the top "Lightning Rods" applique attached to it.
I'm looking to get rid of these soon, so if no one is seriously interested by Saturday, it's going up on eBay. The price will not change when I make the eBay listing.
$800 O.B.O. meaning, please dont offer me $400 for it :smile:

Thanks for looking, anything THAT I HAVE NOT COVERED, please feel free to ask!
