I have an old B&M Starshifter that I just pulled from my 67 Camaro. It is in working shape but the cable got burned a little on my exhaust pipes. Comes with a new console, new boot, new indicator plate and new brackets/hardware for any trans. Also, have the box and all instructions. It's a very easy install. This is probably the best and easiest way to get the shifter on the floor for cheap.

Guys before you get in trouble you need to be a paid subscriber to post WTB or sell stuff on here. Its only 25 dollars a year and well worth it.

If you want to stay with a column shifter you may want to check out the cpp's ebay store. You could kill two birds with one stone and replace the whole steering column. It's probably more than you want to spend but if you think you'll be in the market for a steering column in the future, it might be worth it.

I got one similar to this one: (but mine was all stainless and was $300):

You'll also need a u-joint as well (around $50 on ebay if you search)

A sloppy shifter was the whole reason I got mine since I don't like the idea of a floor shifter.

I didnt mean to make it sound like a WTB thing... I was asking for options. Sorry for the confusion.

As for floor shifters i was praying to find a manual just for the purpose of having a floor shifter... I replaced my panhard bar and would love the old one to be the shifter.

I wish i could figure out a way to make one but not like a B and M or something... Like how some bike have suicide shifters just maaking something radical like that.
