Anyone enjoy automotive trivia? Join in!!!

A few years ago for a couple of our road trips to swap meets, I did up a couple of hundred automotive trivia questions for all makes and years?

Anyone care to play?

Ok, here goes:

Name two differences between the 6 speed offered in the 93 Firebird/Camaro vs. the 94 and up 6 speed that was offered.

Might as well have 2 questions going at the same time:

What was the original application for the front seats that were used in the 68 Hemi Dart factory race cars? (This one's too easy!)

Didn't the 94 and up 6 speed automatically upshift into 6th under no load and above a certain speed?

You're close. Skip shift went from 1st to 4th if your throttle position was under something like 30%. Under hard throttle you could use all the gears but not light throttle.

That's 1/2 the answer. What was the other difference?

The Dart seats were from the Tradesman van of that time.

80's T-Birds were available with a blower. However, this was not the first time Ford offered a blown T-Bird. What was the first one?

No, I don't think so. If if was, then that is 3 differences, but I think they were all the same manufacturer.

Sorry, no, I am looking for a model that was made in 1990. It was only made part of the model year. There is a particular reason it was part year only.

Next-

What year is the first Z11?

Now don't give me some obscure car where the Z11 option meant factory mudflaps or something either! You know what I mean!!!

You guys are too good. I was hoping you'd say 62. Apparently there were aluminum 62 cars but they didn't have the Z11 option.

Oh, and for the record, in about 1985 I bought what I thought was a big block aluminum intake at a swap meet in Illinois. Got it home, didn't fit. Ordered a 409 intake gasket thinking it must be 409. Didn't fit. Guess what I bought???? A mystery motor intake, of all things!!! With help from a Mystery motor expert in Michigan, we identified it. Fortunately it still had the casting number on it. I learned from that. The casting number on the mystery parts start with a zero.

Sold the intake to a friend in Nebraska on the promise he didn't resell it just to make a buck, or I would have done that. He wanted it for a conversation piece. He's a 409 guy. It's sitting on his shelf. Not too many people can claim to have a mystery motor intake in stock!
