NCGuy68, In your above post where you have item "2" are you saying there was a Muncie 3 sp shifter in 69? All the 69 Camaros I have seen were Hurst shifters including a 3sp car.

Sure enough Joe, there was a limited production 3 sp Muncie trans in 69, but Chevy cancelled it early in the production run. The White Book shows it as RPO MC1 with 3079 units sold. The 69 assembly manual shows it as RPO M13. Al Colvin shows a cut-away of it in his 65-69 'by the numbers book', (page 264) and calls it a "Muncie heavy-duty 3-speed transmission". I actually bought one with the shifter still hanging on it at a swap meet years ago. What caught my eye was the fact that it was a 3 sp shifter but had Muncie stamped on the handle. Twenty plus years of grease and grime told me it wasn't a fake. After looking at it over the course of the 3 day meet, it finally dawned on me that it was the often over-looked 69 Camaro Muncie 3 speed. I made a deal with the seller and still have it today. I consider it a interesting piece of 69 Camaro history.

I agree with you that the shifter on the left in your attached pic is Nova. I have 2 of those Muncie stamped handles myself. I think that shifter/handle combination was 'factory' for 67-8 Nova with bucket seats.

I have seen numbers stamped on some rods and bars but I've never been able to make any sense out of them. As far as I can tell, they don't relate to any GM group or part numbers. Of course, I'am always open to suggestions.

Thanks for your info and picture.
