[SCG] 60=62 corvair shifter

[The Vair Shop]

hi all 
attached is a picture of a shifter out of a 61 monza with 3 speed trans and bucket seats. notice the lever is straight, not curved at the top. 
 my recollection is i only remember seeing 1 shifter like that, it was in a 62 monza coupe with 3 spped & buckets. my assembly manuals show a shifter lever used in 60-62 monzas with bucket seats and 3 speed trans , that differed from the lever in all other models. the books do not give an illustration of it though, only the 'standard' lever. 
a 3 speed in a bucket seat car would be pretty rare, so i have put this question to the stock corvair group to see if there are other examples out there, perhaps confirming it's use as the assembly manuals suggest. . 
regards
lc

Larry,
 
This is a picture of the shifter we discussed in Jacksonville. It is out of a 1961 Monza coupe with bucket seats and a 3 speed.
 
See ya,
