Bench Seat Column Shift Vs Bucket Console Shift

Depends on the car yes column shift automatic doesn't work in a Dart - Duster - Demon and a 4 speed is neater with a bench BUT consider the plain Jane factor such as the square box plain as could be 67-69 Valiant I'm doing one with a big block 727 and yes I would prefer the 4 speed but not in the budget and I'm going out of my way to keep the column shift IMO that's what belongs in this style car
