Sold!! C3 Rachet Shifter

The shifter has - SOLD !

Hurst V-Matic 2 Ratchet Shifter 383-8530.

This shifter is custom designed for the C3 Corvette. It comes with a console cover that bolts right in place on the C3 console. The cover has a lighted PRNDL window and a cutout for the stock ash tray.

There is a rubber shift boot and a Hurst T-handle. There is also a finger operated reverse lockout lever.

The shift lever can be put in “D” and the transmission works like the stock automatic. Put it in “1” and it can be ratcheted one gear at a time without fear of missing a gear. It will downshift the same way. Every time you bang the shifter it moves 1 gear, forward to go up or back to go down a gear. It will also work with a reverse pattern transmission.

I used it in a 1974 autocross car. It worked like a charm, no more missed gear changes, it always moved 1 gear at a time. This would make an excellent drag racing shifter also. I removed it and went back to the stock shifter and console cover before selling the car.

$125 Plus $15 if I have to ship it.
