Converting manual to 700 r4

[skooli]

My wife and I just bought a 67 Camaro with a Tremec 5 speed. It's my wife's car for all intents and purposes and she wants an automatic. So we're are probably going to put a 700 r4 in it. Does anyone know if you can use the horseshoe style shifter with it? Or was that style of shifter even in existence in '67? Forgive my lack of knowledge. I'm a Ford guy.
