Hurst “Mystery” shifter, 3 speed. I have the same shifter in my tote full of Hurst stuff. I think approximately 1972-1975 vintage. I’ve had it since high school BTW.

Thank you. BBBentley told me the same thing last night, but I misunderstood him. I've never heard of a mystery shifter before. I wonder why they called it a mystery shifter? Doesn't seem like a very good name.

They were a “ Mystery” if you got it into 2nd? Ha, Ha. Seriously I think they were a cheaper version if you could not afford a “SyncroLock” . I had it on a old non synchro 1st -3 speed, we used to call those trans -“Grenades” back in the early 70,s.
I’ll dig it out tomorrow and try to post a picture for you.

Synchro Loc was the Hurst Cadillac of 3 speed shifters, it had shifter stops and better internals.

The OP was asking about single bolt aftermarket handles.

Are you referring to second generation shifter handles?
First generation 69Camaro/ 68/69 Firebird are the same.
