    G body short shifter for A520

    Hey everyone, I'm tired of the tall farmer shifter in the Le Baron, does anyone have one of the factory shorter units from an 89 G body hanging around? Shipping to Canada as well.

    Hey Randy, do you mean what would one be worth to me? I'm not sure what the going rate for these things is anymore as I've been out of the scene for a while. Back when Daytonas were in the junkyards all the time probably $25 - 30, but 15 years later they're probably going for considerably more.

    Right, I was curious how much it would be worth to you??

    I have one in my stash that I was planing on putting in my Omni.

    Old age and a stroke has me considering parting with some treasures!

    Are you friends with my pal Brooks from Marsden??

    Small world if so !

    Thanks
    Randy

    Yup, I almost sold my car to Brooks but ended up falling back in love with it. I haven't met him in person yet but have been chatting with him about some stuff.

    I was thinking about 50 bucks but If you're wanting to use it in the Omni, go for it. I'll find an alternative.

    I have this one from an 89 Daytona. It's complete with the knob, insert and a good pull ring. I would take $30 plus shipping for it. It doesn't have the base part, but that shouldn't be an issue for what you want it for.

    That's the shorter/curved version? Hard to tell from the picture. What would shipping up to Canada look like? Postal is T9V 2T1.

    I tried PMing you, but it says your inbox is full. It's pretty shocking how expensive shipping to Canada is, USPS is $33, and UPS is $47. I emailed you three pictures of the shifter, I think it's the one you are looking for.

    Thanks,

    Re: G body short shifter for A520

    do not ship to canada via UPS

    always MAIL IT

    reason..UPS charge a rediculass brokerage fee to cover the taxes as things get moved across the border

    by mail there is no brokerage / handling fee because the postal worker delivering the package to the door IS a federal employee ..who IS authorized to collect the taxes at the door or postal counter...

    one way (UPS) is VERY VERY much more expensive that the other...

    Agreed 100%
    Example, Ian in upstate NY sent me a board so I can repair it for him. UPS charged him $20 and they charged me $70!!! for border fee, administration fee, a &$#@& fee

    I couldn't ship the shifter today due to the Federal Holiday. I will get it shipped tomorrow. Thanks again.
