Pistol Grip

[Dusty]

I am in the process of restoring a 69 RR and would really like to put a pistol grip. I do have a bench seat. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thank you

So was it column shift before. If so you will have to put the shift hump in the floor pan. That is if it is not their. Was the car a standard or Automatic. So what is the trannie. Yea you can get the shifter on classic industries or Tony's. I got my console shifter their at Tony's. Got the four speed shift to go on an A833 Manual off e bay. Post some pic's of what your doing.

It’s a orginial 4 speed car with a bench seat.
Yes I need to post a few pictures I have been lurking long enough
Thanks

Yea Dusty lets see that beautiful car.

First picture is how I found it, completely dissasembled and a unorganized mess. I have known and seen the car for many years so looking forward to bringing the bird back to life once again. Bottom picture was just last week. The car is now lowered, disc brakes on all for corners, power steering and will have a the original 383 completely rebuilt (which is already done). Lot more work to do but getting closer
Thanks and might have a few questions for you from time to time

Wow! Looking good. What did you do to the 383? Stock or beefed up?

 

[Dusty]

Thanks
The guy that I purchased the car from who had it for many many years and never did drive it had the engine rebuilt.
The guy that did it was Twig Ziegler who had a business in Pendleton and was also a funny car racer back in the day. What he did to it unfortunately I have no idea. It was stored correctly and going to check everything out, new gaskets, etc....
Noticed you are from PNW
I live in Joseph, Or

 

[HD539]

Very nice, Joseph is a nice town. I live in pasco Washington. We’ll have too get together sometime.

 

[Russ69Runner]

She looks really good. How far along are you with the car. Trying to get the shell painted on the one I have.

 

[Dusty]

Putting everything back together now. I am concentrating on interior parts and pieces now.
I will post more pictures when more headway is made

Thanks

I believe you'll need a 71 bench seat 4spd shifter. This would have the short throw so your knuckles won't hit the dashboard going into 3rd.

Same transmission different stick is all.

I believe you'll need a 71 bench seat 4spd trans. This would have the short throw so your knuckles won't hit the dashboard going into 3rd.

but thats the best part!!

That and when the glove box jumps open as you hit second gear

 

[Russ69Runner]

Sound's like quikbird is talking form experience.

 

[quikbird]

Oh yeah. Launch, shift to 2 nd, smack the glove box, grab shifter for third and away we go
