Both HQ Statesman models were standard with manual gearbox. The rare one is a V8 one optioned with L31, it came standard with M21 4spd. This car has one mechanical option, M20 4spd which came standard with bucket seats and console shift. It wasn’t common but not exactly rare compared to a 308 one or a 350 example. |

Do you know of any 350 Statesmans(or a 350 LS Monaro) with a Muncie factory fitted?

Do you know of any 350 Statesmans(or a 350 LS Monaro) with a Muncie factory fitted? No, none exist as far as I know. V8 LS was standard with auto if 350 optioned and Deville already was standard as auto. V8 Statesman was also standard with auto when 350 optioned. The only places MC7 was available they were also standard, in 81837 and 80469 XW8. GMH did build one special order 80469 with L30 MC7 that wasn't an XW8. What would be rare if they ever even made one would be an 81669 (V8 Statesman) optioned with M21. It would be L32 M21 GV2 (3.36). |
