Keith,
As for driving impressions, my next door neighbor bought a new '66 Lemans Sprint. It had a Hurst floor shifter for the 3-speed. I'm sure she never opened the 4bbl, because when she let me drive it (It was less than a year old and I was on my permit), I punched it in 1st from a roll. The 4bbl kicked in and left a squeak of rubber from the right rear tire. I powered 2nd and left a decent patch. She started screaming, "stop it, stop it...you're ruining my car!!" It felt like a 300hp 327. Terrific car. But of course, I never got to drive it again...............
Neat car - light yellow with a black vinyl top and interior. (heavy duty clutch too).

Verne.
