I have to admit, yours looks nice. I first got mine in 1987. They were new to the market then. We always attended the annual manufacturer's show at Speed Distributors in Atlanta every year. That's where they were bein showcased. I got mine with the huge mafungo hermorphodite console it came with at the time. It was hideous. They have a console for them still, but those first ones were god awful stupid. because of the console, I never really liked the shifter either.
