73-81 Camaro, Trans Am, and Firebird Mr. Gasket Console Shifter. This is SHIFTER ONLY, console NOT INCLUDED
This is a Mr. Gasket V Matic Console Shifter for a 73 -81 Camaro and Firebird. It was made in the early to mid 80's. It is for a 350/400 trans. Uses the stock shifter cable, and the cable installs in this shifter like it would in a stock shifter. Fits in a stock automatic console for 73-81 Camaros and Firebirds
This shifter shifts fine. I polished it for an hour or so with NevrDull, and it came out pretty nice, There is some very minor pitting and rust on the chrome plate, but it would probably polish out with a little more work. There is no shift indicator arrow, there is a light that moves underneath the shift indicator and lights up what gear you are in. Its green, and it does work.
It comes with what you see in the pic. You will also need the clip and cotter pin that holds the cable on the shifter, but these are the same as on a stock shifter.
This is a nice shifter, I have a B&M, and if I had a 4 speed plate for it(my Camaro has a 700R4), I would keep it for myself. However, it is NOT a true ratchet shifter. If you have it in first gear and bump it, it will bump all the way up to neutral, it won't go past it because of the reverse lockout. But it is NOT a shifter you can bang through gears with, as if you hit it hard enough, it will go from first to nuetral.
Ebay has been erasing pics I've put up in my auctions. If there are no pics, message me and let me know, I will put them up again

2015 Cadillac Escalade interior revealed
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Cadillac teased the new Escalade last week, but today's shot is an uncamouflaged look at the interior, giving us a good idea of what the new luxo-barge will look like from the driver's seat. Caddy says the new interior combines handcrafted elements with new technology, using the company's cut-and-sew technique. The central part of the instrument cluster looks similar to other current Cadillacs with the CUE system and swipe-touch buttons.

Bertone B99 Jaguar NOT for Jaguar. Perhaps Lamborghini will be interested?
Mon, 07 Mar 2011The Bertone B99 Jaguar Concept - not for us, say Jaguar We thought we were in a minority of one when we proclaimed the Bertone B99 – Bertone’s take on a new Small Jaguar – to be the wrong direction for Jaguar. We couldn’t conceive why a struggling Italian design firm like Bertone would take a punt on designing a new Jaguar, so we assumed that Jaguar must have quietly commissioned it. Otherwise Bertone would have to be a bit barking to try and usurp Jaguar’s design team; a design team with as sure a touch as any in the industry.
