Did they ever produce a slant 6 4 speed with a console in 1966?

my friend has a slant six with that 2.06 first gear and 2.76 gears that thing is slowwwwwwwwwwww, i mean i can out run it on foot to a point. Bad combo Slant needs that low 3.09 and some 3.55 really wind up! The 64-65 Ball and trunion four speeds are tough mine has been behind 3 motors and probably has a zillion miles too lol
