the shift knob on the 67 is the same as the later models
some one may have replaced your 67 knob

Subject: The importance of the shift knob.
>All,

>Went and picked up my 70 2000 today. I was of course interested in how the
>ride would be different than my 67 2000. We all know the differences-
>windshield height, padded dash, etc. The ride in the 70 was much smoother
>than my 67 and I will say that SUs are MUCH quieter than solexes.
>
>But the most amazing thing to me was the shift knob. The 70 has the tapered
>black hard plastic one on it. My 67 has the vinyl fabric with the Griffen
>logo on it. For me it was no contest. I LOVE the feel of the tapered hard
>plastic knob. When I get the 67 redone, it's getting one of those.
>
>So yes, all kinds of differences between by 67 and my 70, but for some
>reason this one difference stood out above the others. I am sure I will be
>doing more comparisons between the two, but for now I am just welcoming a
>new member to my family.
