History question
I've been reading a lot of posts from other '76 owners. I see a lot that list the car with a stock 3-speed. I bought mine used and it has a 4-speed with the L48. Was that just an option back in 1976 or did someone do a change out?
:rolleyes:

Re: History question (Eric76)
the 3 speed reference is to the TH350 automatic transmission. all manual transmission cars were four speeds. if you have a four speed automatic, it was a modification by a previous owner.

Re: History question (Eric76)
in '76- l48 was available w/a standard 4 speed or Turbo-hydra-matic
the L82 was available w/a 4-speed close ratio or Turbo-Hydra-Matic for an additional $134.00 no 3 speed :confused:

Only about 100 to 200 where produced so they are rare but desirable? :confused: I know fauxrs wants one, he loves rare options. :lol:

Have a friend that restores Vettes and sells parts and cars, he says 3-speed manual is hard to sell. He said the last one he had (a 68) they had to swap it for a 4-speed to sell it. He says rare does not equal desireable.
