My new toy/ Bucket o' Rust :D
 

just picked this one up today 600$ and i was able to drive it down from pt. st lucie to pompano about an hour and a half drive hard to learn the column shift at first but after i got it down it was all smooth sailing...biggest question i have on the vehicle is how the hell do i get it in to reverse any one have any shift pattern pics? my top speed was about 65 on the ride home...http://i541.photobucket.com/albums/g...9/DSCF2111.jpg

and its a 1966 200d :Dhttp://i541.photobucket.com/albums/g...9/DSCF2110.jpg

nice - what's with the zip tied rad?

Not to bad, what are your plans for it? How does it run?

Does the AC still work? Looks like its got a newer compressor.

Have any interior pics?

OK do you remember where 1st gear is? Is it a 4 speed on the tree or a 3 speed?
nice to know. R should beeither Down from #rd if a 3 speed. Or it is should be

3 speed
1 3
2 R

4 speed

1 3 R (maybe) Could be next to 1 or 2(close to driver)
2 4

didnt get a chance to look it completly over yet to see why probably rubber mounts for rad rotted away had to run to work right after i picked it up..

its a 4 speed but to get it in reverse do i need to pull out then forward?

On the floor or column? If on the foor, try pushing down in N and try beside 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th???

Plans....hrmm my new baby going to take time but i want to get it nice as possible ran great for the hour and half ride home, needs filters mounts and such, guy told me a/c worked havent tried it yet though i do know blower works..and no interior pics yet has a beautiful dash and wood around window is just a little faded..front seats are a diffrent color from back though but are in great condition...maybe can be dyed? anyone ever dye mb tex succesfully?

Neato! I want to find an ancient one like that someday. Hows the acceleration with 47hp? :D :D

not bad once you learn the column shift 4 speed no idea on 0-60 since 60 has been about my top speed so far :P

Probably ought to post in Vintage

A later post puts the shifter on the column.
On the 123's, the shift pattern is as depicted in the attachment.
I'm sure a number of reverse lockout mechanisms have been destroyed because folks assumed to push down to engage reverse.
Mine was.
Necrosavant, do you know the chassis designation? As in 1xx.xxx, that would help in looking things up.

1. Pull the gear lever all the way towards you and then up. This is reverse.
in a neutral position, up is first, down is second. Push the lever forward, in neutral. Up is third, down is fourth. You have to screw with the shifter a little to engage reverse on these guys.

Someday means about 7-10 years from now. :D
