[Tigers] early shifter knobs (150358810575)

[Paul R Sheahan]

Tony,
      I actually was fortunate enough to TAC an early Tiger two weeks ago that
had a T 10 transmission with the mushroom gear shift knob.  A couple of the
guys there said that there is a guy reproducing the knob now.
      I have photos of the car if you are interested.

There is an auction on epay (150358810575) that shows a strange shift knob for
$100. I sent a question doubting this shift knob was on Tigers and his reply
follows.

"For your FYI, The first 56 Tigers were equipped with Shelby American
supplied, Borg Warner T10-B side loader transmission, the true Cobra short
shifter, reverse lock-out T-handle and that shift knob that you see. From
B9470057 and forward the short handle was use and and the knob was changed."

Norm or anyone who owns/owned one of the first 56 Tigers able to shed any
light on this statement?
