Not running you will lose your shirt.
You are already in up to your neck. I've been there a few times. Driving season is almost over. Time for a 3 pedal conversion.
I have a push button delete plate I've been saving for you.
Gotta cut it off. I'll lose about 15k but it has to go. It's making me insane
There will be a deal on a 97 F350 7.3 dually as well.
Don't let that car push your buttons.
Sorry. Just trying to lighten the mood with my off center humor.

64' Plymouth Valiant v-8 Push Button - Torqueflite Linkage or ???
Happy to say I bought my first convertible, Plymouth Valiant Signet 200, and have had a ball driving it. Loving every minute of it until yesterday when the push button transmission failed. Push 1 - all good. Push 2 - no problem. Push D and it was not catching and no acceleration. Drove home...
