Now that this has been brought up again, I thought I'd add a few things:
4-speed Muncies were available in F-85 series wagons from '64-'69 only, and were available with any engine.

Right, Joe, '66-'69, but not in '65. The M14 was introduced in Feb '65 as an option with the 442 only.

And Owen Griesemer brought his '69 4-speed gold flattop wagon to the Nats this year. His father bought it new!
