The 427 decal is an aftermarket add on, Canadian Tire used to sell them.

I took that photo. It's from a 30xxx mile 69 427 4 speed 2+2 that was a one owner car at the time.

She was rough underneath though

Stored in a damp garage with a dirt floor. Shame

Cool! Credit Todd fully, I just had it my "L36" folder

Now I also know what the other side of the motor looks like and the fuel filter setup, etc.

I wonder why that car had a white shifter knob. Should be silver, so far as I can tell. But shifters were often changed, maybe it had a Hurst swapped in?

Perhaps. I don't remember him saying he swapped in a Hurst shifter though.

Hmmm... here's a couple in silver. The first is a Caprice, I believe, based on the door panels:

...and here's one in red...

...and here's a survivor 2+2 in silver...

...so I'm leaning towards silver. Not proof, though, just a number of examples.

According to the parts book, in 68-69 the four speed shift knob depended on

- Was it a four speed
- Was it a standard trans

3921147 68-69 ALL ST FOUR SPEED WITH BENCH
3922525 68-69 ALL ST FOUR SPEED WITH BUCKET (this should be me)
3945520 69 ALL ST - WITH COLUMN SHIFT - BLACK
3973042 69 ALL ST - EX 766 - BLACK

So the three-on-the-tree is black. But I think I should have 3922525 and that part number is reproduced as the silver ball here:
