I had one on my '82. ditched it. I need a regular heater outlet cover, brown and a boot for the gearshift. Oh, and a new gear shift knob....the original one disintegrated into a rather ugly pile of foam plastic.....any offers or suggestions?

I think it is an 83 only piece. Never seen one on an 82. It SURROUNDS the shift boot. Al Brase
