Look Ma, No Hands!
I have a quick question.

I own a1966 Schwinn Stingray Stick shift bike, Oct 66. Bike is total OG and in decent shape. The shifter has this slight bend to the left at the base of the shifter tower and I have seen this on another 66 stick shift bikes. Is that bend factory or was it bent? It looks factory. I just saw one on eBay a 66 stick shifter and it looks the same. Let me know thanks

oh ok so that is factory then like that for later 1966? I have seen some straight as well. I am assuming those are earlier then?

If I remember right the straight one's are earlier

The shifter handle should be straight... I have several 66’s and they are all the same ...
 
Really early 66 would have had a thumb shifter like the 65 3 speed bikes did. The smooth flat one was 66. Look below
