Elusive shift knob
A few years ago I saw an 84-89 Carrera in my town, Hudson, OH. It was dark silver (not sure which of the several silvers it was), with Big Reds, later-year 17" wheels & a license plate that read "FLAT 6" (or maybe "FLAT SIX"). It was in fantastic condition -- VERY nice, indeed.
I saw it parked on at least 3 occasions & driving the other way once, but I never got a chance to meet the owner.
It had a shift knob that I had not seen before & I have not seen since. And since the shift knob on my 88 is looking a little ratty (the leather is starting to curl up), I am interested in trying to find one like it. (I know, I could -- & may -- simply reglue the leather on mine, but it is rather plain-looking.)
The knob in question was leather & looked very similar to the stock knob, but it had a full-color Porsche crest on it instead of a shift pattern. Has anyone seen one like it, or better yet, know where I might buy one? FYI, I am not interested in most of the after-market knobs I have seen -- I want a near-stock look.
Maybe the guy simply glued a crest onto the factory knob?
Thanks in advance for any help....
Doug
