Alan,
I'll open my e-mail, and forward you info.
Have to check into more stuff, which I will post. Have to follow up on some tips. In 1966, you could purchase a 273/235HP Commando
Barracuda/Dart, with a 4-speed (with or with-out) the console. Of course, with the infamous "Inland" shifter. If you wanted a dealer installed option
"Hurst" shifter, you could order that from the dealer. If it had the console, the dealer would remove the console, and install the "Hurst" shifter.
The console (not usable with the shifter) was either given back to the owner, or made it's way back to the parts department (back shelf!!)
That is the part #, I'm trying to research.
It was just like the rear-end gears. Standard was 3.23, but you could order 3.55's or 3.91's from the factory. Or, have dealer installed
4.10's or 4.33's. Not sure if the 4.56's were available for dealer installation on the basic 235HP Commando's.
Back to the Corvette;. I still wonder, if late Sunday's, the owner while washing the crossed of shoe-polished "T" (indicating trophy run) on his Corvette, explained to his friends that he just got his doors blown-off
by that tan-colored, black steel-wheeled Dodge Dart "Granny-Car",
which now has the Trophy in the passenger seat, being held by the
Blonde, that used to be his girlfriend. "Second Place is First Loser".
