You must have forgotten about the 67 GTX that had magnum manifolds. I have seen over 20 67 GTS's and the majority have been 4-speeds. The 67 steering column is unique in that is has a spring outside the bearing retainer which makes the column larger farther down the column thus requiring it's own manifolds. When using a B-Body magnum manifold it is much easier to change the column to a 68-up to make it work! I drove a hardtop for years with no console and a convertible with a console. We have a second convertible that was a console 4-speed and a hardtop I sold to Iowa was an automatic. BTW, all automatics would have a console. All 457 also had manual disc brakes. There is much more disinformation on the web about these cars than most, that is for sure, and that INCLUDES this site...
