And now i'm heading for my 66th birthday.
What a great car with only 26,500 miles on the clock mainly driven on Sundays at over 100 MPH at a drag strip (not saying more)
If you look at the interior photo you will spot the short Hurst 4 Speed shifter. Now I learnt a few tricks with muncies and Hurst shifters and that was.
"a" the two lugs that change 1st and 2nd and 3rd ans 4th you remove them off the Muncie cut them shorten them and re weld them.
"b" You dismantle the Hurst shifter, you get the 1st,2nd and 3rd,4th selector arms and you cut them and add say a lengthening piece of 25mm just above the pivot hole then you re weld them then assemble the shifter.
So why do this? if you lengthen the shifter arms and shorten the two lugs on the box itself you dramatically reduce the travel distance between all gear changes and when you have a fine spline Muncie with after market Syncro Hubs with special Syncro's and half the dogs missing on the sliders you can change gears that fast that most wouldn't see your arm moving as its that quick. don't try this with a T56 NOoooo they don't like this or gear change like I use to do in my younger days.

The front shot of the HQ GTS Monro. very few were made with a Stateman's front with Single Headlights and with Electric windows. Very few were painted in March the 17th paint, very similar as to the VF "SPITFIRE" Colour.
