Seriously! I have a friend in Chicago that has owned a '72 GTO since new. He purposely ordered it with the 3 speed (on the floor) because he liked that trans in his '67.
It was stolen shortly after he got it (and recovered). Witnesses said you could hear the thieves grinding the gears as they speed away - probably because they didn't know it was a three speed or didn't know how to drive one.
