Agree with Pete, my previous '72 Z28 had its original ITM 4spd shifter. In the late 80's when I rescued it. replaced the sloppy ITM with a factory Hurst 4 spd shifter out of a '74 Formula, wish I'd kept that Z,

In the 90's, cut up a really rusty '73 LeMans Sport Coupe w the GT package. It was equipped w its original Saginaw 4spd & Inland shifter, tach & gauges, 3.08 posi. Drove numerous 4spd '77 & 78 Z28's when they were only a few months old, two were GMAC repo's, others were friends new cars. Remember the '77's also had the lift feature for reverse. Have a local friend who bought a 4spd '77 Z28 new & put it away, I believe he will concur. '78 & 79 Z28's I've parted on had same Hurst shifters as late '70's T/A's, be interesting to see what a 350 Saginaw 4spd 78 Camaro would have.
