Thanks for all of the information. I believe it's a 3 speed on column but will report back. Hoping I can get the VIN before the drive. How difficult are parts for these cars to get? Are there any other resources I should look into?

A '61 Dodge Dart Phoenix with 383 cross-ram and manual trans recently crossed my radar. I know nothing about them having recently completed a '66 426 hemi Belvedere. Owner claims 1 of 12 with the engine/trans combo. Sounds like the 383 was early '61 before the switch to a 413 later in '61...
