Finally saw the video. That was pretty cool. It sure was a different time in the 60s.

One thing I was wondering... I noticed the above window sticker says his car had a supplementary transmission cooler and the TH 400 transmission. Were there any other modifications to the transmission besides the cooler and aftermarket shifter. I imagine the dual gate shifter allows the driver to shift manually or automatically. Am I correct (I've never seen one in person)? I guess the transmission was a stock TH 400 with a different valve body. Did the TH 400s that went into the Hurst have upgraded internals?

Just curious.
