    Did the 3-speed cars come with a floor shift option? If so, can someone post a picture of the shifter boot the 3-speeds on the floor used?
    Thanks!

    Looked it up in the Ford MPC.
    D1DZ-7277-A description 7-1/8" long, 4-11/16" wide.

    One for a 1971-72 Mustang or Cougar with 3 speed is 7-11/16" long and 5-1/2" wide. It would also have a round hole for the shifter. Probably could be used if nothing else could be found.
    That is the only one listed that was the same size or larger.

    Thats exactly why I wanted a picture... just to see what looks similar. I didnt know they were impossible to find, but I kind of figured so.
