Definitely a conversation piece.... I'll start with a "what were they thinking?" and a "what's the point of buckets and console when the shifter is in the column?"

Nice car and very unique! I would have thought it impossible to order a car this way.

Yep!!! Back then you could "order" what you wanted & this "combo" wasn't that "rare" Ive' seen a 63 Impale 327 /300 Hp this way & a 66 Poncho Parisanne rag top 327 Buckets & no conole 3spd on the "tree" the 396 is a bit unusual w/3spd.?????

how about a '69 biscayne 427/335hp 3 in the tree....

I love that Car Dave!

I was going to call the fellow  but not on Sunday or Monday (holiday)  

The ad suggests, driving it for a sample of the excitement!  lol  

How many have driven a big block with no power steering and no power brakes? 

If you haven't, then the car may present excitement that you don't like... 

The story about the impala seems lame..need more description ... e.g. it has SS emblems Is it a SS? 

btw...  did the console and guage option give you the Tach? and std trans would not be HD?

I have seen that car somewhere and can't put my finger in it  I remember reading about the block off plate    

Survey 

Would you change it to a 4 speed?  (even a 3 speed on the floor?)
