DragCat Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So far 3 Monte's posted with no reserve ( which always shocks me with mecum) the convertible which I posted before, and a no pic/no data posting. For some reason this SS (with a reserve) looks vaguely familiarĀ š¤£ https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0123-546479/1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss/ Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverdogs00 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Group, a little OFF topic, but the question came to mind while perusing the various lots at Mecum/Kissimmee auction brought up by this thread. Have any of you ever heard of a " Sure Shift" modification, like is found on this Chevelle?Ā Ā https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0123-539129/1969-chevrolet-chevelle-baldwin-motion-phase-iii/ I'm very familiar with the Motion/Yenko/Nickey type cars - just had never heard of this, and what I believe to be the accompanying lever on the trans hump.

Googled it and it was also showing up on Camaros, etc. This is for the Camaro, column shift with no tunnel mounted lever: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-chevrolet-camaro-rs-ss-91/?fbclid=IwAR1W8gep5yZ566VbRrIXw3VFclbjKlt_dX7fhgkrvQV4GiVn1tfwn3ZWI0w Ā This thread for a B.M. Corvette mentions what may pertain to the lever on the tunnel. Looks to be for a Gear Vendor type of overdrive possibly? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-tech-performance/4475424-baldwin-motion-switchable-rear-diff.html Ā Scroll down to the price list near the bottom, it shows the transmission with 'Sure Shift" on line #8 for $125, and the Hone overdrive on line #21 for $750: http://www.motionperformance.com/motion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopper77 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Anyone else sitting on their duff today watching the auction on TV like me? Ā The Mrs is ready to strangle me with the auctioneer blaring in the background all day LOL.
