Here's something similar that I've had kicking around for years.
GM really did some interesting promotions back in the day.

Funny, we were just discussing that particular oddball transmission at our CP coffee break on Wednesday night. It was called Torque Drive. A manually shifted 2 speed automatic (sort of) transmission. This is from the 1969 Nova brochurse.

The Torque Drive was a manual-shift Powerglide with the valve body removed. It stays in low or high until you shift it. Cars so equipped also came with H.D. radiators as a clueless driver could lug an engine all day, protected by the converter. If you are allergic to a clutch and only have $37 to spend, there's an answer.

They were offered in 4 & 6 cylinder Novas 1968-71, 6-cylinder Camaros 1968-69, Vega 1971.
