I too have the long, tapered, hard black plastic knob and my toy is a late
'68.

Mike, I also have the plastic wood grained knob with the griffin on it. I
have been told by a few folks that I thought were in the know that it was
the
original knob. My car is is a 67.5. Are you saying that the long, tapered,
hard plastic knob was stock? I have only see a few of them, and only on 69
or '70's.
Peace,
Pat
