Good eye Mark !
He says it has a Hemi-fourspeed from the factory. Don´t know if it actually the same as one that you would get with a Hemi but it´s huge for that little car. The Chrysler guys in the know get crazy when they show up with their (Hurst-shifter from the factory) fourspeed Valiant, at the outdoor shows.
That sheetmetal plate close to the gaspedal was also factory installed. First he thought it was added later but one of the Chrysler guys showed him a pic in a book, and it looked identical to the one in their car.
