Really?....I thought that it was more an early-mid 80's thing.For some reason an '83 (?) Hurst Olds comes to mind.

A variant on this idea is the B&M ratcheting "Slap shifter". Bang it forward out of neutral into first, bang it again and go up a gear, repeat, ect ect. Just one lever, and three gears in the car I owned that had the set-up, which was the fastest car I have ever and will ever own: a metallic blue 1974 Vega with a mild (300 hp or so) 350 SBC in front of a th350. A stupidly fast car that ran out of gears at 130 or so but got there in a ridiculously short amount of time. The slap shifter set-up worker really well in that dragster type car.
~Late '70s / early '80s. The boxy one those Donk Boyz love so much, not the halfway-between-'60s-and-'80s version.

the G/A body cars. Originally A ('78-81) body until they switched A over to a FWD line and the old RWD A body cars were redesignated as the G body ('82 and after). Basically the original A and G cars are the same with cosmetic differences and upgrades over 10 years.
Mine is an '80 and will be getting basically all of the later G body frame reinforcements added as I can find them at junk yards. This includes the GNX reinforcement that goes under the rear seat. Basically anything under the skin can be bolted up between any of those cars, just the bodywork that is where non interchangeable bits are.
