"South Fenton"? No such town. I live about 10 minutes from Fenton.

I find it a little interesting he would list a car like this on craigslist.

Rocketguy

The car has been for sale for some time.

Heavy duty cooling came with a shroud with the clutch fan.
Oil pans are block color, not chassis black.
No 1967 W-30 came with D heads.
No picture of cowl tag showing that the car is a 442 and in the right date range to be a W-30
Red fenders are too bright to be original (or they're truly beautiful)
I think that's a Chevy rear, not a P rear like the W-30s had.
Radiator top plate and oil tube are not chromed (Oil cap is) on W-30. Is the alternator bracket chromed too?
Battery setup looks off in the back.
No picture of transmission tag.
Column shifted race car?

She's got a lot of "sentimental" value.

Yeah, why not? If your AT is properly built and calibrated, you'll likely do better in DRIVE - or at a minimum you'll be more consistent. Keep in mind that if you ordered the optional automatic, you got a column shifter unless you also ordered the console.

/screenshotting post for next time Padavano calls my 442's bench and column AT a "granny drive."

joe_padavano

When have I ever said that? Frankly, I've never even heard that term until just now. My SM465 truck has a "granny gear" low, but obviously not the same thing.

Run to Rund

Hey, does my Jerico 3.08 first gear qualify as a granny low?

joe_padavano

Only if you're the little old lady from Pasadena.

Heck, SECOND gear in the SM465 is 3.58. First is 6.55. I can get out and walk next to the truck in low (the rear end is 4.10).
