The hurst looks in really good condition as do the rest at least they weren't left to rot in a field
Just passing on information.
I'm not looking for another project or a manual steering C body

In my experience most 4-speed 67/68 C-Bodies have manual steering and brakes. Did Chrysler restrict these options? Also has the inner fender to firewall braces only found on 4-speed 67/68 C-Bodies.
I saw the braces and wondered about that. Thanks .. another thing for Aidan to think about but shouldn't be hard to fab at all. The short one looks like a B body fender support brace.
I'm a little surprised by your statement that in your experience most 67/68 4 speed C bodies had manual steering. Did you have the opportunity to drive any 67/68 C-Bodies AND late 60's B body's to contrast the low speed or parking lot/city driving steering difference if any?
Not surprised as in don't believe you just surprised people would order a higher priced or perceived higher class car w/o power steering. I'm not really surprised at a lack of power brakes.

A lot of folk bought manuals back then because they still thought automatic transmissions were witchcraft. They probably thought the same about power steering and brakes. I once bought a '73 Newport from the original owner that had every option EXCEPT power windows and sunroof. (Seats, Locks, Alarm, 440, SG, etc.) I asked why he skipped the windows and he told me "What if I drove off a bridge and the windows shorted out when I hit the water?!"
I miss people who were afraid of tech. Contrast that to 2015 and most sheeppeople could care less if their TVs spy on them or if their car can be hacked.

I've never seen those inner fender to firewall braces before in my life.
Me either Stan. Do you think they were tacked parts modified to suit a need?
Here's a pic for those following along

The manual steering, manual brakes are an easy thing to change if that's what's keeping you from considering this car. I've never seen those 2 braces, brackets ether... but I've never looked at a 4 speed car close up...

The real question should be how many factory 4 speeds have I seen and examined under the hood.
IF it is supposed to be there, the only reason I can possibly imagine is to help prevent firewall flex fron the clutch pedal. Stab in the dark but it is all I have.
Who here has a Slab factory four speed?
Somebody pull out the FSM. I can't I'm at work
I don't doubt Hergfest though. Sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

John A does. It's a 67 2 door hardtop factory 4 speed car.

I was going to check but I can spend an hour searching the stupid Parts Book looking for body parts without finding it. Trying to find thzt brace in the book is like looking for a pin in the haystack and I don't possess the concentration.

The real question was asked. Regardless of how many you've seen, 1 or 20.... we're you looking for a 12" brace that you've never seen before?
Assuming factory it is to prevent flex and movement for sure.
