Ive known about this car for a while,my buddy owned it, but i never really cared...he wanted a 72 Cutlass conv parts car I had..he asked what i wanted for it, and i said" idunno, whatta ya got to trade?" How about a catalina was his response...i said,,"nah..i only want a stick shift big car"..he said... it is..ya dork..its a 4 speed car.....so, bada bing, bada boom i got a car..heres preliminary pics..its a hi comp 389 2bbl with no options but the 4 speed, as far as i can tell..

that is the correct shifter...youre looking for the hook shifter like a GTO probably...but..this is the right one, works for buckets, console and bench...
i'll post more pics when i get the carpet out, theres no carpet avil for this set up, acc said if i sent them mine they would make them for others and give me a new one....

is that the factory shifter location? the reason i ask is because i want to put a 4 speed in my 66 wagon and i was looking for a special shifter to clear the bench seat but it looks like there's alot of room for a non specific shifter.
pictures would be great !!! i was going to buy that shifter hump and boot that is for sale on here but it looks like the shifter is in a different place then were the hump puts it.

Here is what a Correct 66 CDN pontiac bench seat 4 speed set up would look like.
Marxjunk car is a US car and much different from the CDN cars.
The 4 speed floor hump is reproduced in steel.

oh ok so i do need the floor hump and boot for my wagon. i have a 3 speed manual in it now and want to change to 4 speed floor shift. i have an m20 right now i'm not sure the dimensions are the same as the 3 speed or not but i'm currently looking for factory buckets to replace the bench seat to hopefully make my shifter options a little a little easier to find.
i dont know about Canadian cars, but US cars have long tailshafts, like a long tailshaft 400 turbo in big cars...if your 3 speed trans has a tailshaft thats a foot long..you ned a long tailshaft 4 speed...like i said, i dont know enough about canadian cars to know..heck, this is my first big car ive ever wanted to keep..
manual steer, manual brakes, no-a/c, it is a heater car...
you arent going to believe what i stumbled onto and bought today...a 66 2dr executive bench seat 4 speed 3.55 posi with a tach..its supposed to be a 421 trips car...has a 335 hore 389 out of an auto in now, i have to PHS it...less than 140 executives, all bodies, and all enginge 3 or 4 speed where produced...i cant believe it..its such a cool car, ill post pics of it when i get it home saturday....
