This is a public service announcement only:

That particular part with that exact picture was on an eBay auction last week that was taken off the eBay site. It was described by eBay as a fraudulent auction. Draw your own conclusions.

This was posted as a public service announcement only!

In Chicago Muscle Cars catalog , they list 4 spd shifter knobs, but show 67 (2 sizes, 3/8" 2 pc., and 5/16" 2pc.)being black, and 68`s being same sizes and white....and they are priced at $23.00..Ames show samne for $28.00
I have no idea on a wood knob.....any part no on it?

In Ames cat. they show a FR576K a 'walnut' 4 spd shift knob for a 69 being a reproduction for $33.00 and states :"this reproduction knob is not exact but is very similar to original", "very good value for its price"...shifter pattern piece looks just like this , but 'wood' looks slightly different( maybe the pic?)....so if Ames is correct , it should be for 69?
maybe check w Steve Ames??

Hey F-body do you have the E-bay auction ID # so we can see that?
Thanks

I didn't think so...

If it was pulled by Ebay for being fraudulent then it has been purged from the system.

Yes But the sellers ID would still exsist. BTW, I recently bought a set of original Ram air pans for a 1968 Firebird off from the classical Pontiac site and the guy that sold them to me has this shift knob for sale and offered it to me before he placed it for sale......I just called him and he NEVER posted that picture before and he never had it on e-bay.

If ANY ITEM were on ebay and was PULLED BY EBAY, the whole listing is wiped,period. Using the sellers id, a link to it or item # will all pull up nothing but a bland page saying so.This is unlike the seller ending an auction early where you still would have access to the page,details and pictures. I have seen that/similar NOS knob listed as well a couple of times the past year and a half. What's it worth? What you are willing to pay for it i guess. I have no clue.

since I doubt people go back and read stuff abv their post I`ll 'redo' my "edit" in my post :

Recent EBay Sale:

1969 1970 GTO Firebird Trans Am NOS Walnut Shift Knob (#8026086057)

well , that one went for US $511.00.....nice and shiny looking....

Not sure I`d pay that , I could`nt tell the difference between it and a repro!

ouch, $511

John,

Its a worthless fake, my dear friend. Send it to me and I'll give you 25 bucks or so as compensation. :p

Hey nash, if you are refering to me....That is not the same one that I was looking at .
John

John , just advise ,do not take Nash seriously ,thats a 'joke'!

No problem ! I did not take it personal.... He and I have a good relationship...

I like that knob and was hoping you'd send it to me if you had it!!! I've never seen a wooden knob like that for an FGF.

I will send it to you along with the original set of ram air pans that I bought off the classical Pontiac site...They would look great on that car of yours... PS I will be visiting TN soon, hows the weather there?

Crazy, as usual. In the lows sixties and sunny over the past weekend, now dipping back down into the 30's and gloomy. Where are you visiting here?

I will be flying into Memphis and driving to Mississippi. to visit my family.
