3-speed
I appreciate the feedback guys. I was 13 when my Dad taught me how to drive on this particular car and drove it for a while regularly when I was 16 (I'm 46 now) and of course never noticed any difference. Didn't drive it again after that until I was 43 and after having owned a slew of 5-speed 4 and 6 cylinders not to mention having driven 10 speed semi's. Needless to say, now I see the difference.
Don't get me wrong, I love this ride. It is a super fun drive! Being that it is all factory original adds to its uniqueness.
