I think the desirability is a result of the perception of its rarity rather than it being a desirable option itself. I like oddball stuff and think it is neat that some cars were built that way, however, I still prefer the floor shift especially since it would a slapshift shifter.

If I remember right, that factory red '72 TA is a column shift automatic.
