Hello everyone,
I just finished looking at the 109 pages of this thread, 11 years Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread (1).
I've observed that closely followed by the L-Codes, the Slab Sides with a factory 4-speed tranny are supposedly the most popular and of course very rare shoeboxes.
That's why I think the idea of opening a thread showing C-Bodies that are credibly equipped with such a gearbox from the factory is a good one. So I would be happy if everyone posts his or her other Factory 4-Speed C-Body here.
About production numbers I found out that John Lee (Standart Catalog of Chrysler 1924-1990) said they made:

1965: 2,6% of all Plymouth Furys left the factory with a 4-Speed-Transmission (8.577 examples)
1966: 1,6% of all Plymouth Furys left the factory with a 4-Speed-Transmission (5.288 examples)
1967: unknown
1968: 0,2% of all Plymouth Furys left the factory with a 4-Speed-Transmission (699 examples)

Let's start with a rare Dodge Station that I found many years ago in the internet:

Love the idea of the 4 speed in these cars. Hopefully I can find one for myself one day

Good luck in your hunt! I never thought I'd get one, but I just happened to come across a post on this site, and got mine. Never giv up hope that one may appear, you just never know.

This is not a original 4 speed car
Canada built 66 polara 880.
Was poly automatic
I did the swap to 440 4 speed.
Bench seat and white ball hurst shifter.
Original paint except for a repair front of drivers fender.
Oh yea upgraded to the power brake pedal

Some of those figures seem to be pretty high, can't believe they made over 8k 65's. Wonder what their basis for those numbers were. If you mix the 3-speeds in, maybe you might get near that but even then it seems high.

Anyway, here's my 1967 L-code, a nut & bolt resto-

All 66-67 & early 68 used the Inland, before & after they used some variety of Hurst Competition Plus. I use a 65-style Hurst for driving which has better feel, mine has the buddy seat.

1968 Monaco 500 375hp440 18 spline Dana.
1 of 7. It has the reverse indicator and a May baby, so it's a Hurst shifter. Red one is a Lcode auto
