2023 Mecum Kissimmee


Recommended Posts

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 šŸ¤£

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.

Looks to be some sort of shift kit mod for the Turbo 400's. Googled it and it was also showing up on Camaros, etc.

This is for the Camaro, column shift with no tunnel mounted lever:

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?

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:

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.

Always tough to say without seeing it up close, but this one from this morning seems like it was well bought.

I havent been watching, and like you said, hard to say without eyes on it. But for a TRUE SS not bad for the buyer I would sayĀ

Thatā€™s exactly what Iā€™ve done all afternoon! Not a bad way to spend the afternoon since I canā€™t be on my feet anyway šŸ˜€

Yep.. I figured it would end up there again.Ā 

I think I figured out who has it. Hadn't accepted my friend request yet.... strange

Goes across the block today, caught some of yesterdays show, lots of money flying aroundĀ šŸ¤£

(edited) Saw it cross the block this afternoon, 68K then add the premiumsĀ
