The shifter had a plastic knob that was a fake woodgrain pattern. Reason I remember so well that it was a 3 speed manual transmission is that we had a very difficult time getting parts for that tranny. I didn't know the 3 speed was even available, but sources tell me that in 1970 it was standard equipment. Anybody else ever seen one?

You are correct Jim...the 3 speed was standard in 1970,and the 4-speed was a option along wth the 727 TorqueFlite.I have not seen a Road Runner with a 3 speed,but have seen one Dodge Super Bee with 383 and 3-speed on the floor.
