Very few people pay for the mid shift and generally just make the handle bend the way they want it
I installed a mid shift in a 67 F100 and it was beautiful, put the shifter in exactly the right place. My hunch is, it may be a bit far forward on a passenger car, certainly on a Mustang, but I have never paid attention on a Galaxie, and haven't done a TKO swap on one.
FYI, they aren't cheap and can be tough to find, so if the standard rear shifter doesn't hit the seat, it is likely the more affordable option
