| i said ford did not build them for production. some dealers are documented to have converted cars and there may heve been some preproduction mules but you could not go to the dealer and factory order them. i have a partial set of instructions for converting cars and how to assemble the parts written by a ford mechanic who did a half a dozen or more between 61-63. he told me most were overdrive conversions but some were 4 speeds. this one is easy to prove using a 1961 edition of the parts book as it was printed before production began in mid 60. the parts books are printed in advance so they usually contain parts listings for stuff that is not available (the 71 copy shows all the parts for a 71 boss 302 mustang which was never made). the lack of clutch linkage and hardware in the 61 parts book is a pretty good indication of fords intent because even if they were planning on stick shift and then didn't do it the parts would have been in the book. hawkrod |
