I am aware that these cars bounced around class to class including Mod/Prod & Pro Stock . And altho some of the mods needed to be competitive in those classes were easy to convert back to SS, changing an auto car back to an auto while leaving no traces of having a stick in it is not so easy to cover up.
Besides the obvious hole in the floor needed for shifter clearance, there needed to be a bracket welded to the DS front frame rail to support the outer clutch or Z bar pivot.
What I was trying to say in my previous post is that my car has never had the floor modified for a stick & it's never had that bracket welded to the frame either.
So, it's never had a 4 spd. or clutchflite in it.

Daryl:
My thought was for you not to pass up an opportunity to check out a car in a photo just because of the PRO on the windshield or larger tires does not make it a true PS car because I am sure some automatic equiped cars were run as a PS for local PS booked in shows that did not fill the field. I was not questioning your car because you know what you have.

And I, as well as MANY others would love to see a picture of it as it is today.
Chances of that happening are ?????????

X2 included in the many

I'm not convinced there were 2 hemidarts campaigned out of Brookland Heavy's toy shop yet. I know the original S&K car was a stick car. This is the car the Mutt brothers raced both on the track & on NY streets .
Is it possible there was a second car (& it being an auto) durring the same time period. ---------Absolutely.-------- Likely----no .
I'll keep the thought on the option list tho. Until a car is accounted for & documented, I consider them all as possibilites.

As an update, I'm currently waiting on Mr Bob Frey to go through his arsenaul of information in his library that he has collected over the years. Searching for a connection to that 1977 Bracket Nationals decal
