C3 Shifter

Were any 1973 L-82's manufactured without the reverse lock out on the 4 speed shifter handle? Also, was a cloth insert available in the vinyl seat? Thanks.

I think it's 'no' to both your questions. Perhaps Bubba has been playing with your car.

Re: C3 Shifter

Thanks for the response Mike. I was looking at pictures prior to going to see this vehicle and they prompted the questions. Now that I have seen the car the missing shifter parts are in the car and what appeared to be cloth is actually vinyl mesh. I believe both are original. One other question however, is whether the dual pulley alternator is original. This is an L-82 vehicle with no power steering or air and I am trying to confirm the dual pulleys. If you have any information on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
