It's YOUR thread, you can post, almost, anything you want in it...
Super nice car.
I didn't catch that it was a Malibu. That may have been what the inspector was referring to, that it may have a Saginaw trans and why did it have a Muncie shifter. The Saginaw was never put behind a 350 engine to start with and they never had their own shifter. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, even the cars with a Sag got a Muncie shifter. Whether the handle was stamped in that application, I have no knowledge. William, or someone, may have that answer, as the Saginaw's were installed behind 327's in the early Camaros.
Either way, with a Muncie trans, the handle is correct.

Welcome. It sounds like your shifter lever is for a bench seat.

Hard to say without more info. What did the shifter come out of ? 3 or 4 speed, console, etc. Any background would help.

The judge may not have been too incorrect, but he probably didn't know it. M20 through various years could also refer to the Saginaw 4 speed trans, particularly after 1974 when Muncie stopped making transmissions. Basically, M20 referred to a wide ratio, 4 speed transmission.

Viz, perhaps this will help. I came across this 1969 photo while restoring our 69 Yenko Chevelle with an M21. You can clearly see the Muncie stamped shifter handle in the photo. Hope this helps.

Here's a link to the GM Heritage Center sales brochure for a 69 Chevelle:

on the second to last page is a shot of the interior with the Muncie shifter, although the Muncie is hard to see. Someone may have a higher rez photo. The shape of the shifter is correct for a Muncie.
