cool, I just bought thisone off of ebay (not the one in the pic) and it is a bare bones gear selector.

They put a B&M gate shifter in the Challenger and it HAS to go...going back original, may upgrade to a pistol conversion ... might end up being my wife next Christmas present...

anyway...I need to find a linkage rod and the top parts of the shifter... but atleast this will function..
