Hurst Shifters
Short answer: The 1967 console shell is the same for automatic or manual — only the shift bezel/plate is transmission-specific. So swap your automatic bezel for the 1967 4-speed bezel (repro available), add the stock boot and retainer plate, and a Hurst Competition Plus shifter works with or without the console.
- From 1968 on, Firebirds came standard with Hurst shifters — the factory shifter has a round stick locked into the body; aftermarket Hurst sticks are flat and bolt on.
- Watch out: a 1968–69 shifter hits the front of a 1967 console. (One member ran a 1967 4-speed console in a 1968 with the correct 1968 shifter and had to leave the console loose to live with it.)
- Hurst’s “Street Super Shifter” (straight rods) won’t fit any console; the Indy shifter is uncertain.
- The boot is almost entirely hidden by the shift plate, so any boot that covers the tunnel hole will do — handy if the tunnel was butchered.
