I've never had a car with the factory Hurst shifter, can you remove the lever on them?

Up to and including 1966, the factory Hurst levers were welded to the internal "selector" of the mechanism. To remove the lever one would have to disassemble the entire shifter body. If it is truly a '66 Hurst, this would be the case. Beginning in 1967 the factory shifters have the removable levers.
