I now have 470 miles and it shifts considerably easier than when it was new, so hang in there for some miles before trying to fix it - it may work itself out.
Beautiful car...

Thanks Kevin - I think you getting your car up and running was what finally motivated me to get into gear and get mine moving.
I don't know about the shifter - the bend on my handle is right at the tunnel top or a little below. When I shift forward it lays over right on top of the tunnel - with the rubber boot pinched in between. It's leaving rubber marks on the chrome bezel when in 3rd. I fabricated a 1/4 inch spacer to go under the handle or it would be worse. I might try to do another 1/4 inch spacer and go with some longer bolts. I need to get the shifter bend a little above the top of the tunnel. It might improve a little with some use.
Guess I need to think about getting down and registering it. From what I know, Arkansas registration is simple and straight forward on these - but there will probably be some trick to it
