What's the estimated cost, I'm interested?

 

it will work, but that cover will not fit a firebird console, the '85 and up ones are totally different, and even though the '82-84 looks similar it is different around the ash tray

 

As long as they don't set the price at "rip-off" I'm in.

 

I am game for one too if they start reproducing them.

 

the only reason why they dont make the dual gate shifter anymore is cause b&m bought them out and started the mega shifter, if they did decide to remake them. it would be the bomb but its highly unlikely but either way im down for the cause

 

cool shifter..yes

but how about maby.. bringing back the lighting rods..and this time for 4 and 5 speed automatics..

now that would be Cool!

heck.. i would buy one and pay $400
if they still made them

 

+1 on lightning rods!

had a set in my 79 Z28, nobody else had those- and at the car shows they def added that unique touch. i thought they were cool, a 4 speed version would be interesting. but alas, it will never happen.....

 

I gotta ask, whats the purpose of the dual gate and does either ratchet?

 

one is a street gate and the other is a race gate the race gate has stops built in so you dont over shift

I'd love one of these, I don't like the mega shifter and think these look great

 

I am in

 

Add me too if the price is right.

 

Me too if the price is decent.

 

I'm in if it's $500 or less.

 

ill buy one also

 

update?

 

So no update?

 

It'll be here right after the BBK TPI intake hits the shelf!

 

I was going to call them on monday to find out what is going on.
I have a complete new one in the box..If they are reproduced it would be
6-12 months before they could be ordered..

 

i started thinking that too.

 

It's easy to say that when both of you are sitting on the sideline's doing nothing to help the reproduction get started...

 

Hey RS, how serious do you think these guys are about getting the reproduction started? We are looking at 6 - 12 months from when they start right?

 

They have been trying to locate a complete shifter.
When Hurst was sold they didn't keep one or the plans to build one.
I sent people to them that had a complete shifter but, they never contacted them. So, I located a new one in the box and have it...So, I will contact them this week and see what they say...If they reproduced the shifter it would be 6-12 months before you could order it again.

 

They are serious about reproducing it..It was just hard locating a new one in the box.

 

I was wondering what you would have us do? Say a prayer? Throw salt over our shoulder? Sacrifice a goat? We have no shifter to donate. We've indicated our interest and willingness to spend. It's been 2 months to the day since the original posting of this thread. I'm certainly no expert but present computational power is measured in teraflops. Your original picture wasn't enough to even start the reverse engineering process? All we've heard of so far is a few phone calls/emails. I don't think a bit of skepticism is unwarranted.

 

No, It wasn't enough to start reverse engineering process..They want one in their hand...What you could have done is helped look for one that they needed. Like, I did...But,You sat on the sidelines waiting...And now your whinning... because its not happening fast enough for you.

 

lets not start a war over this, 1991-RS I applaud you for doing what you have so far, many people have been dying for this shifter but NOBODY has put this much effort in to getting it reproduced, I can attest finding even a used one is hard as hell, but finding a complete NIB one and allowing a company to use it so the rest of us can benefit deserves a medal

 

Thanks Caveman305, I don't think people know how hard & rare these are to find still new in the box. I don't want to start a war over this either..But it's a pain when someone who hasn't helped look tells you what's taking so long...

 

I dont Know if your still counting, requests but i would deff be interested in one.

 

I talked to Joe at "The Parts Place" he wants me to ship out my shifter to them in a week. Because they are getting ready to do a show right now. They have been waiting for the other people, I told them about that have complete shifters to call them back but they never did....
B&M the current owner of Hurst gave
"The Parts Place" the green light to
reproduce it if they want too.

 

I guess i should start my Camaro Fund back up, im hoping to be able to buy 2 if this really does get rolling

 

So from this point on 1991-RS, what would you like the rest of the people reading this thread do? So there is no war ,no stupid arguments,or anything BUT helpfull suport or adding are self to the list of people that would like this shifter.

I know I have looked for that shifter, at least once a week on my list of parts I try and find over the internet. Just b.c we do ot speak aloud ,does not mean we are not trying to also help.I personaly have not come up with any shifter on my searches so I have not commmented on it.

Everyone relax and something might happen but their is a chance it wont.

 

People just need to relax & add their name to the list..It's that simple..

This will not happen over night..They stopped making these about 7 years ago and it took me alot of time trying to track a new one in a box down.
They didn't know where to even begin to locate one because it was discontinued before Hurst was sold. "The Parts Place" said they may have alot of the parts on hand from old stock they bought from Hurst before it was sold but they didn't have a complete shifter to reproduce one thats why, I started the search for one. They know that alot of people want one..Thats why they are willing to see if they have the extra parts to make them again or reproduce the shifter

 

I contacted the parts place and according to them they are still looking for an original shifter. If anyone has a complete one they are still looking sales@thepartsplaceinc.com

 

i want one, the b&m megashifter is junk

 

Subscribed, depending on the cost i'm prolly in

 

I had a 72 Cutlass with a factory installed Hurst dual gate in it, it was a lot of street fun behind a 455 BB. The only thing I would change from the Camaro kit is I would have them produce the entire shifter plate to replicate the factory piece instead of the partial as with most the corners are cracked or broken off at this point. If they are going to all the trouble of reproducing them ... why not?

I bought one of these shifters about 6 years ago from Karbelt Performance in Canada, it was one of the last available and cost me somewhere in the range of $325.00, I sold it unfortunately as I went to a 5spd.

Just my thoughts for what it is worth.

Seems like the problem is locating a complte shifter and then getting someone to ship it to them.

 

1991 rs- what happened to the shifter you had?

 

me too!
