We had a 66 SS396 325 hp bench seat car with the 3 speed. We had two 69 SS396 chevelles with the 3 speed. The one was a 375 hp, chambered exhaust and 4.10 posi rear. I asked the owner when the car was new about the 3 speed in a 396/375 car and he told me that it was all he could afford at the time and he would switch it out for a 4 speed when he could swing it. The second car had buckets, console, 325 hp motor, D-96 stripe and a posi rear.

The HD Muncie full syncro 3 speed tranny would live pretty well with big block power up front. </div></div>

Wow where are they now?

There's a '69 L78 Chevelle w/ factory HD 3-Spd. we looked at here a few years ago.
I can't seem to find the thread but it's a Canadian car delivered by Canada's only Yenko Network dealer, Mo Carter's City Chevrolet in Hamilton On.
