besides every street racer out there? You know you can neutral-drop a 400 Turbo at any RPM, right? Dickie Harrell proved that with the ZL-1 Camaros (column shift cars) until they outlawed it because Torque-Flites couldn't handle it. Console delete shed a few pounds as well. Just sayin'...how I would have ordered it if that were my game plan. I'm betting Central Office did it so it was a stab-and-steer hot rod that any novice could play with. No complicated console shifter or clutch...plenty potent for sure!

I really doubt that scenario Ron on this car. I would think if that were true then it wouldn't have deluxe interior or stack gauges. Most likely they thought the console came standard. It's still called the chickstick for a reason and I can't imagine anyone wanting that. I would have changed that out before I sold it. Sometimes rare is rare for a reason. Probably this car will go into a museum with the rest of them.
