I sure do! The 3 speed was factory default, you had to up grade to a 4 speed. It was an option. Actually my 3 speed is a borg warner heavy duty 3 speed M13. Only 317 Novas got this transmission in 1968. It is actually dated April of 1967. It had to of been a left over from the 67 model year since my 68 L79 is a June built car. Very cool and rare cars! I think only 16 or so are acounted for.

Jason </div></div>Buick Daily car reports say that 1 1970 stage 1 convertible was a 3 speed. Although, a second one has now been documented. The original owner probabaly wanted to tow his/her boat [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Or save the $58 bucks !

looks like a real decent car for that money. I bet that is Brooklyn Heavy's car carrier in the background.

Thanks, A restorer friend of mine have done a couple of these for a customer. As well as one of the 234 350hp versions. I was just curious.
