That's not a Pontiac James,it's a Buick of all things.I'd love to see more about that old nail valve equipped car!

The details will follow but I will share...FACTORY 4 SPEED

 

[Phil Reed]

That's OK Kevin...we'll see when we come up for the garage tour!!!!!!

 

[DonSSDD]

No Phil, we’d like to know now!! Not many Buick 4 speeds were built that I’ve ever seen.

 

[Don Jacks]

Very few full size Buicks had anything but automatic transmissions but that one likely has the 425 inch,2-4 bbl. nail in it.The 4 speed was optional in 64-65 full size Buicks.Very few had them.I had a buddy in high school whose mother had a Wildcat so equipped.She never would let us drive it though .

Back in 1974 I bought a 65 Riviera non GS with Super Wildcat 2/4bbl. Owned it till 1984. Every option except A/c and that car was pretty quick. I still have the protecto plate and books. I actually found the car in Wisconsin a few months ago. Not for sale. The big cars did get 4 speeds. The shifter is one of the wildest things you can see. They call it a boomerang shifter and its a helluva contraption. So very few made.
