Im not sure what you mean? The base engine (350) horse was available with optional gearing up to 4.33 for only $2.11 plus mandatory options if applicable. In the case of 3.90 or 4.33 gears you had to order Safe-T-track and HD cooling.
Car is sure rough but there is something strangely compelling about a car that is so honestly original.
