Here are a few more tidbits on the Red Car...
As I mentioned in the story, the original owner's wife couldn't deal with the 4 speed so he installed an automatic for her. Unfortunately he sold the Muncie that came with the car long before Frank bought it. However, Mr. Vanveen was able to locate a 1970 M20 out of a Nova..so, while it does not have the VIN it is as close as you can get.
**I have made some contacts in Canada...maybe that tranny is still out there hmmm
