There's alot of info on hemi cars but not the unicorn rare 3speed cars. The three speed was available with a 340, production numbers where pretty low according to Wikipedia, only 289 left the factory that way. As for the other options My Monster are real!

Had the correct hood that was never drilled for any emblems Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Two 6 cly three speed 70 Barracudas, one 72 Challenger 318 3 speed and the rarest was my first Cuda. 383 hp, 3 speed in FM3 Moulin Rouge. It may have been the only one ever made. My cousin had a 383 3 speed Challenger RT in purple.

The later cars 73-74 Charger/Challenger Rallyes, Cuda & Road Runners were 318's and the 340 and up engines were an option. I couldn't find the ads to back up all of them coming with 3 speed but here are the ads fr the 70 R/T and the 73 RR listing them as 3 Speed standard. All these ads list the 3 speed as standard, there are more if you look. http://www.dannyk.net/1973roadrunner/images/73rr-ad-1200-01.jpg https://cartype.com/pics/7916/full/dodge_challenger_rt_ad_70.jpg https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/vintage-advertising/73challenger008.jpg I have seen a lot of 73/74 318 Rallyes, Cuda's and RR's (more than 340 & Up cars) but I don't recall ever seeing a 3 Speed manual car in the sport models. It's like my red 73 Hardtop Rallye Challenger. I have only seen one other red 72/73/74 challenger without the vinyl top. They are out there but I haven't seen them.

This was an attempt to try and get a decreased insurance rate as muscle cars and 4-speeds had big increases. I recall that in certain instances and driver's risk, the per month insurance $ rate was higher than the car payment.... Just my $0.02...

For what it's worth my '69 Corvette is a 350 3spd . Lot of time if a customer wasn't playing attention to the order form 3spd was standard issue.
