Here is the skinny on that shift knob:

Back in 97-98, a friend of mine in VA (Danny) wanted to bring back the 70-71 Mopar pistol grip shifter for the Viper. He had a helluva time getting someone to make a few prototypes for him. Finally, he found a place in Texas that agreed to do the project. I got him the reproduction pistol grip parts and those were shipped to TX for the project.

Unfortunately, things got kinda sour between Danny and the guy in TX and this is what showed up! Only a few were made and they didn't go over very well.

since only a few were made, and they are hard to come by, does that mean they are worth 1 million dollars. lol ;) ;)
