As far as I can tell, Levoc is gone -- at least from ebay. There are a few items still listed but they look like leftovers.

I got it years back when there was a Super Autobacs nearby. It wasn't cheap (around $70 if I remember correctly), but they threw in the e-brake handle. Which was a cheap cover and I ended up getting rid of it. The chrome on the lever doesn't stand out too much, but I like the idea of painting it black. Getting it to fit takes some work. Some material needed to be removed from the inside of the shifter in order for it to slide all the way on without it making the shift/key lock get stuck. (it would be in park but the keys won't come out of the ignition. Also the hole in the black plastic bit that slides with the shifter needed to be enlarged a bit. You are also on your own with wiring up the o/d button. The problem I have with it now is that after years of pushing and pulling on it the plastic "wood" comes loose from time to time. Overall much nicer than stock though.
