I can ask him for pics Frank but I'm pretty sure he won't send anything. I'll try though.

He was releasing info to me very slowly. I'm not sure why. Maybe, he think's I'll start asking a million questions. If he let me, I definitely would. lol.

According to the Camaro Research Group, for first gens:

Yep, my 68 was a factory column shift auto car.
Can't say I've ever seen a manual trans column shift car though

Me either Matt. I should have listed the correct CRG info though:

Quote:

Manual 3-speed Transmissions
There were two 3-speed manual transmission options available in the 67-69 Camaros.
The base manual transmission for non-high-performance models and 67-8 SS350's was the Saginaw 3-speed, M15. If no transmission option was selected, this was the transmission installed. It was column shifted unless a console or RPO M11 floor shift was selected. An exception to this was SS350's, which required the HD 3-speed to get a floor shift.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:00 AM.
