Saw some recently about the shift detent buttons being plastic or die cast metal on different cars.  I have only ever seen them plastic, which ones had the die cast?

Interesting. I don't think I've seen pot metal ones, either.  :scratchchin:
The handle was pot metal, but the button was chromed plastic. At least the ones that I've seen as well.

My original one was plastic but the after market one I got is pot metal. I actually prefer it.

You said Chargers, plural, were they all the same year of Charger or were they all different?  If they were different, do you recall which years had plastic and which had metal?

I've had the same experience.  In the 66 and 67s, some are plastic, some are potmetal.  Haven't found a pattern.
