Looking for some help on this walnut shift knob with a cobra snake on it. A guy is bugging me about selling it to him but I have no Idea what its worth. I do know its on page two of the ` 60 s Shelby catalogue.
Going to have to post a picture to help out. There are originals, aftermarket and reproductions depending on which one you have - then you have condition to consider.
Guessing that when you tried the search feature (always a good place to start IMHO) you found the following

This is the one I`am speaking of.
Yes, this is the Shelby aftermarket shift knob as seen in the Shelby catalog's from the mid '60s on. It was available in both a leather wrapped version and this wood version, as well as in a Mustang, Cougar or Cobra motif. I have found them with two mounting hole size varieties, so if you plan to mount and use it for a particular application, check if it is right for you. If it is just for a collection, then it doesn't really matter. I see them selling regularly from anywhere between $100 to $250, as confirmed per Worthpoint.com (A really cool website that lists the auction results for previous eBay listings, FYI)
There is a seller on eBay that makes a not so good wooden copy that lists for $65, and there is a beat up original wood example that has not been selling for a few weeks now priced at $250. That should give you a good idea as to how to price this. Lastly, I've attached a copy of my current shift knob collection. These are fun to collect, IMHO. Not a huge investment, but you're still collecting something Shelby from back in the day. Not all of us can afford '65 R models, lol. ;)
Thanks for all your help ,much appreciated.
