Ultra Rare 1980 Vert!!!
Ultra rare because they didn't exist. I found this at a classic car dealership. It has a 6 cyl 5spd combo(not factory). You can't tell too much in the photos, but the top doesn't seal well at all. There was standing water in the console below the e-brake handle. I just hope that whoever did the conversion didn't use a T-top Coupe. Enjoy....or not.

How much were they wanting for that car?

79 Coupe

Merkurs had that same shift pattern and those used the Euro T9 (Hummer) 5-speed. That tranny was based on the old Pinto 4-speed IIRC.
I didn't ask. I guess that I should of. I figured if I asked he would say something stupid like 6000 or so. I provided the number above, I probably won't be going back down there too soon. It's like 1 hour 15 mins for me. I got a business card, Marlin Love cell phone is 256-550-1926.

I like the Mustang thing between the taillights, I've seen one before but I cant remember where.

Ultra rare or not, those early conversions don't seem to command top dollar. I have seen a few that were far nicer than that one that the seller almost couldn't give away. They are interesting but definitely not engineering marvels

You know it....saved them right away
My m81 mclaren has one. Also that was the factory 5 speed for the 80 models. They didnt last long because of the crazy shift pattern.

I had one of those 5 speeds in my turbo conversion car. It took a LOT of abuse before my then future wife ripped first gear out of it. (Should have taken that as a warning.)
I honestly liked that transmission. All aluminum, and about as big as loaf of bread, it couldn't have weighed 50lbs, with a super stout 4.08 to 1 first gear, if I remember right. Definitely over 4.00 to 1.
I got used to the shift pattern. 1st thru 4th are the hot rod gears anyway.
5th is for the freeway.

We had a thread going about those a good while back.
In the early 80s, you could buy those out of the Sears or JCPenney catalog.
