I'm green with envy!
My first car was a 77 Supreme. Brown with the landau roof. Had a broken 8-track deck that I replaced with cassette. That car was awesome!In the winter of '83 - '84, my wife had an accident with our '77 Cutlass Supreme and it needed extensive body work.
I wish he still drank. I've been wracking my brain thinking what I could get the dude as a thank you gift. But it's like.... what do you get the man who has everything?Holy crap! What a story!
The Gremlin looks great!!
And that is a killer looking truck. You owe that guy a beer. Nice to have friends like that!
Isn't there a saying somewhere about the measure of a man being the company he keeps? lol.Sweet story. You have some good friends.
Way ahead of you. This is the Quadraphonic Gremlin, after all. But I'm not normally one to turn down a good deal. Whatchya got?Need a quad 8-track player for that?
There is no Park position, it looks like a 3 speed manual box to me. I never drove one of those, I've only driven 4, 5 and 6 speed manual boxes.Only 3 gears? Or is it an Auto with 3 positions?
I didn't learn to drive until I was 23 (probably for the best!) so '81, and the mini I learnt in had a whole 4, even after I'd had a lesson in itIf you had a manual, in those days, a 3 speed was pretty standard unless you got, say, a 'vette or like car.
My 1950 Ford pickup was a 3 speed.

What? There has to be a story there somewhere Duncan. 23 huh?I didn't learn to drive until I was 23 (probably for the best!) so '81, and the mini I learnt in had a whole 4, even after I'd had a lesson in it![]()
Most vintage cars had three speed manual transmissions, usually on the column. Three on the floor would of been superseded by four and then five speeds. Most automatics would of been three speed as well. I had to drive a three speed manual transmission car on my drivers test. I always thought that it should be requirement to be able to drive a manual transmission car to get a license.If you had a manual, in those days, a 3 speed was pretty standard unless you got, say, a 'vette or like car.
