    Not bidding. But, IMHO the price will go up in the last seconds of bidding, $80+.

    That chrome looks like it's been sandblasted. How does it get pitted that bad inside the car?

    I was thinking about it. I wonder how much rust or rot the grey primer is hiding?

    do you have to use the hump with a ford shifter? i know it doesnt matter with aftermarket shifters. maybe i need the hump more than the shifter?

    I've been watching it, but not sure it will get used in my project, thinking aftermarket shifter so I'll refrain from bidding. No sense driving you up just to give up in the end.

    I didn't use a hump, didn't even know they had them back when i put in my shifter. I think my shifter is out of a Granada but from what I understand the bases are all the same.
