I know they're early/mid sixties Ford, and I'm guessing for a T10 by the shift patterns, but what they go to, I'm not sure.

Not 100% sure but that s- bent one i think is a bench seat Galaxie
and the single bent one is from a Cobra if you turn it 180 degrees ;)

Concave knob handle looks like my '66 Fairlane 289 toploader shifter handle. Several of those mid-60s were very similar. Joe-JDC

Doug, I owned a '63 Galaxie 500 (bench seat) P-Code 4-Spd. that had a shifter knob with a recessed face like the one shown. So I agree with Heo on that one. My '67 Mustang GT S-Code (bought new) had a knob that looked like the other one (not recessed).

I think its a early mustang I had a 65 with fourspeed and there
was a shifter like that among the parts that came with it.
Was a hurst shifter mounted on the car

Thanks, guys. I figured the S curved handle was from a bench seat car, just not sure which one. I have a '65 Galaxie that has a 390 4spd combo, but no shifter. Both of these shifters came with the car, so also kinda figured one was for it. I suppose it could easily have been used on different types of cars also. I'm not positive, but since the toploader came out in '65, I would think Ford used that in the big cars with big block engines? Do Galaxies have the reverse lever flipped? That would explain the Reverse being an over and down pattern.
You're right, Heo, the other one does seem to look like the Mustang unit, and appears to be a console type handle.

Doug, the top handle in the first pic looks like the one that I took out of my Mustang years ago.

Now it's easier to tell the difference in lengths!!

Doug,
The single curve lever is a '67 Fairlane. A '68 would have a "round" reverse lockout , and a '66 would have the "T" lockout with the two piece "cupped" knob like the S shaped shifter has. It is taller in the straight portion than a Mustang ( or 427 Cobra).
The S shaped stick is indeed a bench seat Galaxie. It doesn't matter which transmission was underneath.

Here's the '68. I didn't realize they kept the exact profile from 66-77, but it makes sense.

Randy, thanks for the excellent info. I thought they seemed a bit tall for a Mustang, with their low seat mounting, but have no experience with the first gen cars.
-
No problem , we're all here for the common good. I learn things from you guys too! Glad i could shed some light.

well, I have a '63 bench seat 4 speed Galaxie & neither handle is correct for that. I have never seen that knob with the inverted reverse position. Guessing Mustang, Falcon or Comet.
-
Shady, maybe it's specific to '64, '65 or up? I would say it's definitely a bench seat car, given the shape, so that would rule out Mustang.
