The original owner may have been very wise depending on what 1st gear the 3 speed had and rear gears in back. Some of the 3 speeds had tall gearing, 3:1; coupled with say 3.08's and the torquey 455HO would make a very nice cruiser - an attribute here in the Southwest. At least it was not a column shift manual!
