Any chance 4:10 gears were an option?

I don't see 4:10 available as an option on the powertrain chart.

3.31 std, 3.07 econ, 3.55 perf, and 3.73 spec.

I have never seen one with a 3 speed and 4.10 gears. Possible with M20.

Do you have one?  How does the axle assembly date compare with the car assembly date?  Have an docs?

Yes I do have one, but haven't checked any dates yet. I guess that would be a logical next step, thanks

Please check the front edge of the passenger side axle tube for the assembly date and the center section for the casting date.

Also if possible post details of the engine and transmission.

You can send me a direct pm if you want.
