Hurst Shifter for 1969
Short answer: The original 1969 shifter was a Hurst Competition Plus — and says so on the body. Tells: the chrome handle is round except for a flat spot on each side stamped “Hurst,” and it slips into the top of the shifter arm (held by spring clips — release by slipping two feeler blades down the sides and pulling up).
Underneath, the factory shifter has molded rubber where each rod connects to the levers; aftermarket Hurst shifters use only a thin separate nylon or steel bushing, and their handles (usually flat) bolt on. The only markings are date codes and a patent number.
