I learned to drive on a 3 speed non synchro 1st ‘65 Dodge A100 laundry van my Dad had when I was 15 and I’m still of the opinion that is the best way to learn how to drive. In addition to the TF 300F and the 4 speed K, we have a ‘56 Golden Hawk with the Packard ‘352 and the non synchro 1st T85 with O/D (which is far preferable to the Ultramatic, IMHO - also faster😁)
The Hawk also keeps me connected with that bygone goal of successfully downshifting into first on a slow roll and getting the visceral satisfaction of “the clunk”.

I've been driving a 3 speed standard for over fifty years. While it may not be a Letter Car, I have and continue to enjoy driving the non synchro transmission. I never once wished it was an automatic. John Hertog drove my car and wanted to get one, as you know he did. It's been almost a year since I installed the 413 Cross Ram engine and I can't stop smiling every time I drive it. The amount of power this engine has vs the the 361 engine is breathe-taking. So glad my father ordered the sure grip differential.
The only comment about the car on BaT, is the shift knob. It is not an original shape and should be silver grey color. 1962 standard transmission knob was black.
