I see they sell a reproduction 64-5 chevelle shifter handle.
Would it work as a substitute for the O.E. Oldsmobile one until I can’t find a good one I can afford?

I've been wondering if one can adapt the shifter from a G-body. Similar chrome stick and tee handle configuration, and they're available for 3spd and OD automatics. The Cutlass Supreme and Buick Regal had similar shifters. The tall one is OEM height and the shorter one is a new available short throw unit.
