Get
this the 3 speed shift linkage is bolted to the cross member!!! When you really
get on it, it's a bear to shift. You drive almost everyplace in 2nd gear, it
sort of like having a man-matic if that's a word. I can take off in 2nd and
drive around town, just push in the clutch when stopping and takeoff again in
second. I think the big block helps out allot with this but is kind of nice for
cruising. Unless I tell them or they ask everyone thinks it's a 4 speed bench
car. If you go to this link you can see the bench seat shifter. They have more
of a loop in them.
BTW my
car is still not very far along. When these pictures where taken I lived in
Southern Cal. I moved and now live in southern Arkansas. Talk about a job moving
a non running car was hard enough..........packing up all the parts and moving
those was a job. I tore down the engine and brought it in pieces. The car was
transported in enclosed trailer and cost $1700 to move it out here. The company
I work for picked up that bill thank goodness!!

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] subject: rarest option for your year of chevelle ?
that is a rare one. Wonder how many knew that the 3 speed was standard and
the auto or 4 speed were the options? also the bench seat? I believe only 64
and 65 were bucket seat auto or 4 speed on the floor only SS cars.
