Topic: Hurst Shifter T Handle Original or Aftermarket

[sanctuarycabin]

Looking for some help:  I have a 1976 Y82 455 4 Speed LE/SE and have the aluminum Hurst T Handle Shifter.  Is that shifter handle possibly original from factory or was it added aftermarket?  I am assuming it was sold by the dealer as a add on, but am unsure if maybe you had the 455 it would be original?  Thanks

Not a GM part, if it had a Hurst roof it might be a stretch for a dealer to add one as a 'Hurst 'package' to aid in the sale, more likely added much later.
