I don't know of one that moves the shifter forward like you require, but I gave you a couple of the two best contacts in Australia that may be able to help you.

The aftermarket conversions for 1st Gen Camaro appear to have created new tail housing to move shifter.

Some one in the US may have transplanted a engine & box out of a GTO who can help with more info.

Gav, looks like you have a GTO style T56. You can probably use any of the F-body shifters like Hurst, B&M or Mcleod.

I used the Red Roberts (McLeod) shifter on my GTO T56. The offset is 2" left and 2" rearward but it can go forward 2" and up to 2" either left or right from center point. I can get you a better pic if you'd like.

Does it feel weird to shift not having the piviot point centered under the handle?

I have not driven the car yet but sitting in it and going through the gears you can't tell any differance. Very solid - if a boot was on there you wouldn't know where the center point was.
