tilt column, column shift 68?

I'm interested in converting my column shift '68 Cutlass S (upgraded to 3 speed) to a tilt. What price can I expect, does anyone near MN have one?
Dash mounted key.

i paid 200 for one, shipping incl...and thought i got a more than fair deal..one year extremely hard to get now days..it took a while to find a good deal too..i bought it on a Buick site and it actually came out of a 68 cutlass and even matched my interior

make sure you get it all...like the turn signal cancel cam..its tilt specific and if you dont have it..its expensive and hard to get a real GM part..lower bearings are expensive and most need them

Keep in mind that the only 1968 column shift columns with a three speed AT shift gate will have to come from either a rare column-shifted 442 or a Vista Cruiser. All other Cutlii that year only had the Jetaway as the available AT. A tilt version is even more rare.

My column shift setup for the 2-speed is already modified for a 3-speed. I can do it again on the new column. Nothing that can't be accomplished with 1-2 minutes of die grinder work, after a whole lot of disassembly on a tilt. I'm prepared for it.

Understood. Obviously that opens the search box for you. If you plan to tear it down anyway, then any 68 A-body column shift tilt will work, of course.
