Factory 1963 300J 4-speed

[300George]

Do you have a picture-thread on your car on here anywhere?
Have you posted it into the 4-speed C-body thread?
If not, please do! Love to see as many of these cars as possible.

I don't. One of the very few pics I have if my 300 other that outside pics.

Film and development is cheap nowadays! Get snappin'.
They don't need to be pro-quality pics.

Hey, 300 George,...if you dislike your 4 speed shift,...what keeps you from "shifting" to something else?

 

[Snotty]

Honestly, A 300 J with a manual... would be a miserable driver. My 4 spd L is really awful in most driving situations.

I'll take it off your hands and gladly be miserable every time I drive.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Me too! Lol.. as miserable as when I drive my 66 Monaco 440 4-speed.

That one needs to come stateside when it's done.

So, NEVER a 4 spd J in production. End of discussion there. 64 was the FIRST year for the A 833 NP 4 speed trans. And yes I do have one of the 4 speed 65 L four speeds. 96 coupes and 12 convertibles.

Oh, not that I "dislike" my L 4 speed. Just not a good driver. The gearing is awful. Know a club member that has had one since new. Clutch is too small for the weight of the beast.

Yeah... production, fine. Preproduction, no, still open.

Yeah... production, fine. Preproduction, no, still open.

And we will never really know.

The 4-speed in this configuration, is a one year only option.

1965 300L 4-speed is also a one year only option.

I am new to all this forum stuff and I know this is an old thread to post on but I have a 1964 burgundy hardtop 4-speed 300K. 34,xxx miles in excellent stock unrestored condition. So I guess I have #14

You better get synced with all the Illinois folks too, so they can see your car in person!
