For Sale locally. Anyone have any idea what it is of fits? I hope my asking doesn't offend anyone, every time I ask for help on something I get bombed.

Worth quite a bit...

Look for a series number. I'm guessing early one too.

It is a early Rennshifter made from an aftermarket ford mustang shifter.

It's an early one. I have one of the first he ever made and it looks exactly like the one pictured.

Yup. My car has the same one. Based on a mustang shifter

I was looking for a later one, but if someone is interested - the owner is Matt and his cell is 920 627-7550 he is asking $150. On Craig's in Milwaukee. (I live in LA,CA)

The bottom of the lever is like the side shifters. Not the ball cup early shifters. How does one mate the shifter to the early front rods?

"Early" - as in an early production run for this brand of shifter.

It's for a late car ('73-on) with a side-shift trans.

If you want a mustang shifter then the Chinese have heaps of b&m coppies. I got mine for $40

And you modified it for your 914 or installed it in a Mustang? popcorn[1].gif

Still a lot of re-engineering to do, he didn't just slap a different base on.

BTW the inspiration was the Mustang shifter and the first versions were modified mustang shifters, but pretty sure the final product no longer uses a "core" Mustang shifter.
On the latest Rennshifters he end stops are not at the funny angle, it doesn't have the reverse lockout option and the stick is one piece.
