Three-on-the-tree was the standard transmission on the base OHC6. Oddly though, in the 30+ years I've been involved in 69 Firebirds, I've never seen one.

However, if the Sprint was ordered, the standard tranny was a floor-shifted Hurst.

I'm pretty sure the three-speeds behind V8s were Ford top-loaders with floor shift with none built as three-on-the-tree.

By the way, the bench seat (with folding armrest) in 67-69 was an option, and in 69 it was only available with the Custom interior trim and only in black or parchment. It demanded that automatic cars got the column shift. Supposedly not available in convertibles.
