Default Hurst shifter?

Do some Z28s come with hurst shifters? Mine has the H on the shift **** but i didnt know if it was actually the hurst shifter or if the previous owner had just bought the ****. I thought only ss's and ws6's had the hurst shifter?

Any of them could be ordered with the factory hurst shifter for another $300+ bucks. Didn't have anything to do with being an SS or WS6.

" IF " the car came from GM with the Hurst your drivers door sticker will have the RPO code " BBS "

BBS = Factory Hurst Shifter

BBS is just the hurst ****, Y4F is the code for the hurst shifter.

that must not be true for all cars because my cars window sticker says i have a hurst short throw shifter and my car only has the BBS code, but that might go along with the fact that i have slp floor mats, wheels and no slp stickers
