I also remember seeing it with a buy it now. I wasn't looking to buy I was just seeing what was out there and stumbled across it.

But he has a 65 2+2 421 Tri-power 356 hp to ease his pain a little.
This is one awsome car.

In the latest HPP magazine article there is no mention of the actual transmission in the LeMans & no picture of it either.

Is it still a 3 speed or did the new owner change it over to a four speed? Muncie or Super T-10?

I'm pretty sure the article said it was a 3 speed. Didn't it?

Thanks guys, I just thought I'd ask. When no pics are shown of something that would be out of the ordinary for a car of this caliber, it made me wonder.

Thanks again,
Don

Here goes the question? Did anyone notice the offset of the rear end? In the HPP article. I installed a 57 Pontiac then found a 57 Olds(narrower) in my 63 but never finished it and never noticed the offset. Did I miss something when installing the rear? Bob.
