what i was trying to say you made much more sense lol. hillbilliense talk doesnt always come out right even though you know what your saying lol.
Here's the only pic of my 67 GS convertible factory 3 speed manual I have...car is buried in back of my shop .I brought this off George " black widow fame" many moons ago.Cowl tag should have 2B for 3 speed manual no console and I think 2C for console cars.Tranny is a Ford unit. So we go from 9 to 90 cars?Seems like a lot.I have not ran across maybe 3 in 40 years I'm chasing these things.Not sure those #'s are correct.
There were 136 3 speed convertibles built in 1966. 90 for '67 sounds believable. I drug this 66 GS (3 speed stick vert) home a few years ago. It needed a ton of metal work (floors, trunk, qtrs) but it's coming along nicely. It's never going to bring big money, I just like doing this kind of work. Besides, if I don't save it who will??
Kudos to you! I say the same thing, if you enjoy doing the work and like the brand (Buick) do it for the enjoyment and challenge knowing it’s not a bellybutton car
Maybe less clutch wear with shorter gears. I think the reason people were unhappy with 3 spd manual was probably every day city driving it would be hard to find a happy spot between 1 and 2 depending on traffic. Just a guess.
The metal tag that's riveted to the 3-speed tranny has a letter code stamped on it with a serial number. What's the letter code on the 67 gs400 3-speed? ie RAT E, HEB A etc.
