Subject: [FWDLK] Shifter on dash
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 06:58:05 -0500
It occurred to me Sunday while driving the 55 Dodge around that this is not the first car I have owned with the shifter handle protruding from the dash and operating a two speed tranny. I had a 63 Corvair which also had the dash mounted shifter. While much maligned, that little Corvair was fun to drive. I got it cheap from the gas station boss I was working at to fill in before going to basic and advanced training in the Army in 1967. It was cheap because it had a blown head gasket ring. Leaving the engine in the car, I removed the heads and replaced the copper looking ring headgaskets and then reassembled all the sheet metal stuff. Probably would have been easier to R&R the engine but at the now age of 60, I found there was lots to learn at age 19.
