That's great. Reminds me of the early 80's when a chevette rolled off the line in Oklahoma City with chevette emblem on one side and a Pontiac emblem on the other (T100?? - can't even remember the Pontiac designation for their version of the Chevette - or as guys at the dealership used to call it - the "shove it").

Yes...My POP states that my car is an auto powerglide and the Tag states that it is a 4-speed. I have known the car since 73 and was always a 4-speed. 67 Nova SS 327/4-speed
Found TWO broadcast sheets in the seats...One in the rear upper seat states auto and the one in the back of the upper Bucket seat states 4-speed?? Very weird.

I knew that there had to be some good mistakes out there, but some of these are more than I expected. Down right funny.

I was talking to the Guy that was painting the outside of my shop office today and he told me of a friend of his that bought a 1968 Impala 396 new. After driving the tires off of it for a few years he had to rebuild the motor. Turned out to be a 427. Being the original owner, he bought and the car was badged as a 396 but would out run every thing around. Now we know why. Has anyone heard of this sort of thing before?

I know a guy who ordered a 66 Impala from Penske Chevrolet. I forget is he said it was a 396 or 427, but it was also a 4 speed car and ordered it with the specific gears he wanted and a posi.

After taking delivery and having fun with it that weekend, he quickly realized the rear in the car was not what he specified. Took it back and had Roger himself look at the car. Story went Roger asked someone to bring him a floor jack and he spun it right there. No posi and wrong gears. He got the right ones dealer installed!

Don't know if the mistake was a factory one, or if the dealer didn't order the car right.
