I was curious about the "optional" 3-speed manual transmission since it comes standard with a 3-speed manual floor mounted with Hurst shifter. After some digging, this brochure states that it was an option available beginning March 1st of '65, same week as this car was built. Looks to have slightly different ratios and is fully synchromesh. I can't imagine many were ordered with this over the standard 3-speed.
