History Days Of Optional Engines .

I've told this story here before.
In the early 80's my neice bought her son a 1969 Nova four door, it was a bone stock 4 cyl/3 speed on the column car, she wanted me to tune it up before she let him have it, did that, it also needed a new motor mount but there were none to be found anywhere, new or aftermarket, ended up adapting one from a 6 cylinder application, the thing was surprisingly peppy.
I've swapped a handful of three speed cars with Muncie four speeds so after driving the car that's all I could think about, it would have been a blast to drive with a four speed.
I would have gladly done it but the kid didn't like the car.
She sold the car and bought him some FWD car.

 

As I said above, there were six or seven built, but yeah, a real rare and valuable car nowadays.
