Custom Walnut Knobs for 1968
Short answer: The walnut knob was a 1968 factory or dealer option. Only the GTO used the unique “GTO crest” knob; everything else, Firebird included, used the “Pontiac Motor Division” knob with the shift-pattern design.
A few cars reportedly left dealers with a GTO knob (likely just dealer stock used to dress cars up). Note only the GTO knob has been correctly reproduced — the PMD repro is a cheap version with an incorrect adhesive lucite medallion (no detail) and an incorrectly formed knob. Figure ~$75 and up for a correct used/NOS PMD knob.
