Hi guys,
As we start to get into the interior on my '75 2.0, I wanted to find out if this was an original shift knob or a replacement. It's wood, and pretty well worn. I couldn't really find anything in the forums referencing it so, I thought I would ask. Thanks, Mike Attached thumbnail(s)

I'd keep it. I'm also trying to keep my car mostly original with a minimum of mostly easily reversible tweaks. I bought two of the leather wrapped version in the early 80s from P.B. Tweaks or one of the other major parts suppliers at the time. I don't know if it is actually AMCO because it has a plastic friction fit base rather than the metal ring and set screw. I think mine look better and it is a 30 second swap to pull it off and pop the original knob back on I ever care to. Not only do they look nice, I think the the leather feels better. The one I used is worn smooth from miles of fun driving. The other is NOS that I'm hanging on to as a backup (or maybe retirement savings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
