Bench seat shifter options

[Raycudamopar]

Did all bench seat Plymouth Barracudas come with column shifter only with no optional floor shifter?
Automatic or manual would that have mattered?

I found this pic on the net. It's from a 70 AAR that sold at Barrett Jackson for $101k. It claimed to be decoded by the experts and all authentic with a factory 4 speed and rare bench seat.  I dont see how you could have a floor shifted auto though since you would need a console. I seem to recall seeing other 70 e body cars with a bench and a three speed manual but I could be mistaken.

Thanks Beekeeper, this is what I have done so far with a mock up of a four speed manual look but will be adapting it to an automatic B&M cable shifter that will look like a standard. I have also ordered the boot and ring to match the picture.

That should look nice. If you later change the column out to the floor shifter version, that should really sell it as a manual trans car. Most people won't notice the pedals or the lack of the four speed floor hump.

I like your gauges by the way. They look far more functional than the originals.
