You could still order buckets (black only) in only Catalina or Bonneville two door models but no console or floor shift of any kind were offered. Note that some early factory literature incorrectly shows a 4 speed option.
Anyone ever see a 3-on-the-tree 400 4-bbl or 428/428 HO B-body? (Rhetorical question, I don't expect to get any responses...)
