Was Tuxedo Park 4-speed column shift??

And that is basically my question.
The Tuxedo Park models with 3-speed were column shifted.
But what about with the optional 4-speed?
I can not recall a column shifted 4-speed offered by any automaker.
Anyone know about in a TP?

 

2 come to mind: mercedes sedans of the 1960s early 1970s and ford econoline vans from the late 1960s. both available with 4 sp column shift

 

my tux markIV is a 3 on the tree

 

According to another page of this website, yes a 4-speed was a factory option for $169+

If I see a TP with a floor shift manual, do I assume it is the 4-speed option or a change over from a 3-speed and column shift or just a change over from column shift 4-speed?

 

I though it had been established that all 4cylinder 3 speed TPs were factory column shift.
V6 TPs were all floor shift, regardless.

 

I found this in the standard catalog of 4x4s by Robert C. Ackerson published in 2000, it says "The standard shift lever on the Tuxedo Park was column-mounted. If the optional 4-speed manual transmission was installed a floor-mounted lever was used." it also states for the tuxedo park "4-speed manual transmission (available with hurricane engine only)"

 

Does this vin tell you what engine and transmission it originally was built with?

As in this recent ebay TP http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...30211049395&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

 

That ebay listing makes me wonder, for being such an original tux park, it has a floor shift and a :v6: even though my book says they supposedly didn't match the two . . . . . . will we ever find an answer! R)

 

I have found a 63 Cj that is supposed to be an original MK III. It has been repainted and the seats recovered, but under the hood it appears to be Indian Ceramic and it seems to have all teh right chrome stuff. The steering wheel has been wrapped in black tape, but has Indian Ceramic peaking out around the edges.

This Jeep has 48,000 original miles and supposedly the current owner has had it for a long time. It has been garage kept and has no visible rust from the pictures I have seen.

The reason for this post is it has a 4 cylinder with a floor shifter..............

Is this correct for one of these? Do you have any idea of value? I know it is a tough question without seeing the Jeep, but the pics I have sure look like it is very straight and rust free.....just the wrong color.

And I really wonder about the shifter...........
