Mine looks like yours did Halfthrottle when you got it.
Having the original 326 engine built now. This is a factory A/C car, one of 700 I'm told. Still awaiting my seat upholstery from Ames, been over a year now...

Just received the back seat, still awaiting the buckets.

Making progress, windshield frame is now repaired. Body work is done, now to block it, hoping to paint in November when it gets cooler outside here.

Thanks Keith. I know I took a lot of your time with all of my questions.

You are a wonderful resource for us here. Are you going to the Pontiac show at Firebird in 2 weeks? I hope to see you there.

Gotta get the 61 up on stands & tear out the transaxle. Transmission wont shift out of low once warmed up. Changed the modulator & regulator, no difference. has to be the seals on the clutch pack leaking . Time to pull the transmission apart.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be the valve body.

Will it shift if you shift it manually?
