If Rare 69 Three Speed were a member about a month ago, he would've seen the thread about the 3 speed shift plate on Ebay a while back. I guess thats a pretty tough to find part.

You have a real treasure on your hands! And I am sure a very interesting story to tell as the original owner. Why did you buy a three-speed in 1969?
