Attached are a few pics of the shift boot that came with my car (73 appearance package) when I bought it in 1985. It appears to be leather. Would this be the shift boot that came with the car when it was new?

Hey Brent. Would you believe I just brought the car out of storage yesterday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). I may well take you up on that rubber boot. I guess it probably came with the rubber one. Seems unlikely that someone would rob the gauge console but leave the leather boot. On the other hand, to put in a leather wrapped steering wheel and not a leather shift boot seems odd too…

We had a 73 1.7 appearance group car without center console at one time. My memory says it had a rubber boot but then again, I can't remember if I put underwear on most days. I could see that they might have thrown a leather shift boot in on the appearance group cars. No reason not to really. |
