The other night I made the statement that no Canadian Poncho's (all the cars catered to on this site) ever were built with a 3 speed overdrive manual trans.
Tonight while scouring parts books for difficult trivia questions (yes, I'm a bit weird that way) I believe I found an exception.
Ok, thinking 65-68 Canadian Poncho here (cars catered to by this site), what was the exception to the rule? What could be had with a 3 speed manual overdrive?
There's at least 2 or 3 guys here that I expect to get this one. Most won't is my guess.

I don't think the overdrive would stand up to any "Performance" driving, that is why is was limited to the six and the 283. I'm personally surprised that lots of economy minded folks didn't go for it, back in the day.
I wasn't thinking that far back. I am not sure on those.
Let me check the books and get back to you. I was thinking in the 60's but I better get the exact years. As a matter of fact, I think it was available in the earlier CP cars, you are correct.

This 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport was bought by my wife's ... ordered with the 265 cubic inch V8 and a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. ...
