The Hurst Shifter was Used in the 442 and was a 4 speed manual tranny on the Floor....the 4spd automatic tranny didn't come along until the late 60's( luxury cars) to mid 70's...2/3 speed autos were all that were available :D The Hurst Shifter Was the Shifter of Choice By All Drag Racers Then :cool:

Remember the Olds 4-4-2?
400 cu.in., 4 speed*, 2 (dual) exhausts. Maybe GM could produce a special commemorative edition, equipped with a 3.8 litre V6, auto trans, and a nice big single pipe!
* Later changed to mean 4bbl carb when they realized they couldn't sell enough manual trans models. Oops!
Although........wasn't the automatic trans a 4-speed also........soecifically, a Hurst 4-speed?
