I have been reading this site for a few years and taking in all of your knowledge-very informative site. Now for the questions.
I am having a hard time with the Hurst website-the .pdf file will not download so I will ask on here. I have a 69 Z28 original Hurst Z28 shifter, shift handle, and ball-very nice shape. Where do I go (other than the Mr. Gasket website) to find the other part numbers to make a complete assembly. If I were to sell this would it be better to sell it as it is or assembling all the parts to make a complete "kit"? What is the approx. value of the parts I have? and for the complete assembly?
I have a 70 Z28 that is in many pieces right now and don't even have a 69 right now so don't really have a need for a shifter.

It does have all of the factory rubber grommets still in the holes-if that makes a difference.

You can try Pete Serio at Precision Pontiac in Ohio, and Ricks First Generation Camaro Parts in Georgia. Also Camaro Specialities in Buffalo, N.Y. Just type in at Yahoo search. It does matter if the grommets are intacted and in good shape. Sam

1969 Camaro factory Hurst shifters are valuable when they are complete with mounting plate, rods and levers. A shifter body with handle has some value but is not that hard to find.

Therein lies the problem.

The plate and rods are application specific and were only used in '69: Saginaw, Muncie sb and Muncie bb.

Saginaw stuff was all low-po, not much demand. Muncie sb includes Z/28 and SS350 [LM1?], worth a good buck. Muncie bb pieces are out of sight. Complete bb shifters with mounting plate and all 3 rods sell for thousands of dollars. It is not unusual to see just the lower lock rod sell for several hundred dollars.

wouldnt the 69 & 70 Z shifters be the same?
maybe just a different handle.

Nope, 1970 is different.

Worthy of note is that there is a Hurst shifter body/handle that is virtually identical to the 1969 Camaro unit but has a handle that is about 1" taller. Firebird?

Aren't the bb and z28 shifters and rods the same?? Just the mounting plate is different from what I have read. I do have a 70 shifter already and they are different-the 69 handle has two bends in the shift arm and the 70 only has one.

All '69 4-speeds used the same shifter body and handle. Saginaw, Muncie sb & Muncie bb all use different mounting plates.

Muncie rods:

reverse rod 302/350 3955771; 396/427 3955779
1st & 2nd rod 302/350 9791876; 396/427 3955775
3rd & 4th rod 302/350 9791885; 396/427 3955777
lower lock rod 302/350 3955773; 396/427 3955776

The bb rods are slightly longer than sb.
