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...

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?

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.
