I'm posting this last so that it's going to start your day right, with an unusual and rare, but over the top - upgraded 77 Galaxie from Brazil

 

the Genesis GV60 Crystal Sphere is a shifter when the car is on, a crystal ball when off

Ship to 1:40

and the GV 60 Has 429 HP, but 483 when you press "boost hp" button. 10 seconds of aDDITIONAL 50 HP, Good for getting the GV60 Performance model to 3.4 seconds in 0-60 races https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBf5SYtFpeU

Peyton Manning and a riding smoker/ lawnmower (nice, the shifter handle is a draft beer tap handle) with a 12 foot long cooler on wheels, got my attention during a Bud Light commercial

 

I'm guessing that there was a notice given to the people producing and directing this commercial... avoid anything that connected Bud Light to Dylan Mulvaney debacle with the 1.4 billion dollar loss in earnings in Apr 2023

unusual, but cool shifter knob!

 

FWIW, someone is making a book about Norm's skullshifter knobs... aka Normskulls, and it's supposed to be sold this fall

I read that Norm sold these in a Crown Royal bag

 

Rumpsville will offer a 60 page hard bound book featuring a photographic collection of over 200 uniquely hand carved wooden skull themed sculptures produced by Norm Grabowski between 2000-2010

by the way, I never saw this until now, his Henway was featured on the cover of the March 1974 issue of Rod & Custom magazine.

a 2nd life for an old fire truck

clever shifter handle idea!

70 Hemi Charger was interesting to look at, but this is the first time I've seen a Hurst shifter installed under the console

It's been a long time since I've seen a B&M Quick Silver

found in the swap meet at the Van Nuys Mopar Spring Fling

the tools were great quality, there were Snap On, Proto, Craftsman, Mac, Williams, etc and the prices were surprisingly good

this would be cooler if the shifter was turned 180 degrees
