There is a book called "Standard Book of Pontiacs" that I have but not with me. In it, it shows how many cars were built with "synchromesh". I think you'd be surprised to see how many GPs were built with sticks. Do you have the book?

Also, I think it's a good rule of thumb to assume when a fancy street engine was available in the early years of the musclecar era, they were built in greater numbers in the fancier model. Check out performance Mopars - Sport Furys often got the cool engines in greater numbers than Savoys. They made more Hemi Satellites than Belvedere IIs. More 409s in Impala SSs than Biscaynes. More 427s in Galaxie XLs than Custom 300s.

Exactly! You don't see many of those! I've only seen one. Most of the ones I've seen have been hardtops and GPs.
