Re: 1965 GTO 389 Tri-Power Close Ratio 4 Speed 3:90's

A good guy (John V) from another website looked over the paperwork for my car and found that it was built with a wide ratio 4 speed transmission code 77-9. The code 692 that I thought was nothing is for metallic brake linings found on the special equipment form. The original owner ordered the close ratio 4 speed and what appears to be aluminum front brake drums. The dealer must have screwed up the order for the transmission, the aluminum front brake drums were not available with metallic linings so he didn't get them.
Thanks John V,
Mat
