Vintage Shift Knob Jules Vern Steampunk Rat Rod Antique on 2040-parts.com

This shift knob is a unique piece of automotive artistry. There is no other like it. It's an antique steam pressure gauge and is cradled in an equally old steam valve handle. So it's a "NEW" shift knob comprised of vintage pieces. Of course mounted to your shifter, it no longer actually registers pressure but I have counter weighted the mechanism so the needle moves with the motion of the vehicle and shifter. The threaded brass insert will be custom sized to match your particular shifter thread size. And the insert is easily changed to other sizes should you ever change vehicles or shifters in the future. So you can keep this knob forever to use in every car you will ever own. Captain Nemo originally ordered this for his Submarine but he went under before he picked it up. Then H.G. Wells said he wanted to use it in a time machine he was building but he wound up too late. Finally Dr. Frankenstein
did receive it but he returned it. 'Said something about a fire. NOTE! The buyer must determine the thread size needed and inform me before I can ship. |
