Bill
In 1981 in High school,I had a friend who had a 1970 Pontiac GTO convertible.His car had the TH400 trans. and did the exact same thing.
We used to say his car was haunted.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks to all for the replies! Sounds like it was not a completely unique thing. Sure was neat to see, though.

I had what was probably a very low production # option....ordered NEW a 70' Z-28 with COLUMN shifted Turbo-400. It would also shift 1-2 automatically, but I would then tap shifter into the 2nd position...AND then manually shift into 3rd.......Chuck S

In my opinion, it's DARN HARD to beat a column shifted car. I was beside myself when I saw Dan Jensen's collection, which is centered around low production, column shifted automatic GM A-bodies! Way cool, and very sedate looking! Hmmm...dad's Camaro still has the auto column, and he's leaving next week for several days...! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
