Mine is a 20+ year old AMCO one - they came Mahogany and p-leather for like $12.95 back then. You do see them occasionally on ebay but I haven't seen new ones.
Mainley Customs has them.

The ones in the link above new are 80.00 I'll sell mine half of that shipping included...I'll take a pic tonight and post...
I have one too in perfect condition if anyone else wants to buy for half price of new one. Marty@cfgoa.com
Here are a few pics of my knob...$40.00 shipping included...
They aren't very clear, but it is in Xlnt. condition and the big feature is that it came off "El Diablo" and it don't get any better than that....
There are many out there that would love to get their hands on my knob...

Why does Vince saying "Here are a few pics of my knob" scare me a little?

If you want the most awesomely comfortable wooden shift knob that you've EVER hand in your hands, pull the wooden handle off of a Stanley No.6 plane.

My Father has close to 100 wood planes in the work shop, another hundred or more in the garage and two or three drawers full of spare wooded and aluminum handles. I grabbed up a handful of each kind of handle, and they are UNBELIEVABLE ! ! !
And why not, right. What good is a plane if the handle causes blisters when you use it. These things are more comfortable and even more precise feeling than ANY racing shift knob on any car that I've ever encountered.
So . . . just run out and grab up a sweet wooden plane handle, trim and round off the bottom a bit, drill it for the shifter diameter, sand, smooth, stain, and polish the crap out of it. Pop a Porsche cloisonne tie-tac crest on top and DONE.
I mean you will NEVER look back. These thins are PISSA ! ! !

TC - That reminds me of the old "pistol grip" shifters that you could get on Mopar muscle cars in the 70's.
Marty, what happened to the CSP?

I have one. Replaced the shifter with an empi and now I'm selling my car. I don't know what it is worth but I am willing to sell it if anyone is interested. I can take pics if anyone is interested.
I also have one, mailed it to Keith, he mailed it back, so I assume it did not fit, larger hole/thread size....
Sorry, I sent mine to the guy who bought my 1915cc engine.
