M20 4-Speed
N37 Tilt Steering

Honestly if I could go back in time and order a car this is probably about what I would have ordered. Plenty of power and very enjoyable to drive on the street.

Not the way I would've done it. It has power steering now, but still has the manual brakes.

It is interesting how people ordered their 68-72's I always check options and amazing how they drove them everyday without any power options and no AC. I had a 69 with no tilt wheel horrible the steering wheel right on you lap. My 70 LS5 has ps pb pw tilt tele auto but no AC.

I think it's important to keep in mind many, or more than likely most cars, were dealer ordered, and optioned to what THEY thought would sell best.
But great thread idea, to the OP!
