Re: Here's my beater
 

Very nice.

Did the original owner happen to say why he ordered the three speed (assuming he did)?

I have a friend who ordered his '72 GTO with the three speed simply because he preferred it over the four speed.

Re: Here's my beater
 

he said insurance was cheaper with a 3 speed, thats why he didn't order a 4 speed

Re: Here's my beater
 

Nice! (lol); I know our GTO was insured as a "Lemans" for that same reason.

Thanks for the follow up -

Was the 72 three speed a Ford top loader?

If my memory serves me correctly, 1969 was the last year the Ford top loaders 3 sp were used. That 72 probably has the M13 Muncie. But it is hard tellin' what has been installed in the last 40+ years. TAZ

I hear the Dearborn 3 speeds are tough as nails

Re: Here's my beater
 

I have the Dearborn trans in my '67 360hp GTO. Shifts nice but I'd rather have an extra gear.

Re: Here's my beater
 

The Dearborns have a whine to them don't they, kinda like a M22...first gear can really be heard
