I have not found the J617 description yet, can you help me out? Supposed to be a SS with the 4SPD, has the stock hump cutout for the stick... Thanks!

Must be an LOS tag....that's an internal scheduling code for Van Nuys cars. Means nothing as far as equipment goes. In fact, VN car tags offer little in the way of options...just exterior color, interior color and style, and build date. You'll have to go by clues to determine original car. Do a search, there's lots on that.

One quick one is, all 4 speed ss were muncie, so there should be a hole on the driver side of the hump near the firewall for the speedo cable. The stock cable location, down below the master cyl should be plugged.

Thanks, I may take a look... This is mainly a shell and seller is asking $3K, no Muncie,just a "Pile O' Parts"
