Depends on whether it's a console car or not. Console equipped cars had a ball without a pattern,non console cars had a ball with a pattern.

None. They all came with the ball, and they were all black.

The Hurst T-handle was a popular aftermarket upgrade. It was never a factory item.

I put one on mine last year for the coolness factor....

All I can say is they may be cool but they suck to shift....

On a four speed, I agree with you, but I put one on the Dual Gate in my 69 H/O and I like it a lot better than the ****.
