Bellhousing Trivia question
Folks,
My brother just sold this bellhousing on Ebay. I just noticed something odd about it relating to a bit of trivia mentioned on this board in the last month or two.
What's unusual?

The darned thing is pink. Who would admit to owning a pink bellhousing? The only manly color is yellow. As my wife says, "That bellhousing yellow is manly, but I like it too!"

Bellhousing Trivia question
Hmmm, what looks like 2 possible starter location bulges makes me want to take a wild guess.
Something to do with GM in 1953 when the Hydro plant burned down and they were putting DynaSlows in Olds and Cads???
That still doesnt explain the clutch fork hole unless its an inspection or access cover.
And again I doubt that GM used aluminum back then.
I told ya it was a wild guess. The Olds had a left side starter.
If it is Ford I beg merciful forgiveness. Im hung up on the bulges.

Looks like it is for a '60s Pontiac or Olds... probably fits a Muncie and Borg-Warner T10. I think those housings fit big blocks and smallblocks but I'm not sure.

Getting closer..
Yep the front side is standard GM B-O-P, and on the backside one set of bolt patterns is standard GM tranny.
Come on, you'd think someone on THIS forum would recognize the OTHER set....

That tall narrow pattern could be lots of things; from a Cad/LaSalle, to a Warner T10 or Ford toploader 4spd.
Im going to bed, got a headache from staring at that pic!

What does Hollander list this tag for?

(I think)
Yes folks, what you are looking at is:
'THE MISSING LINK'
'THE IRREFUTABLE PROOF'
'THE STAIN IN MONICA'S DRESS'
that P*ontiac stuffed Ford T&C Toploader 3 speeds in late 60's T*mpest and Firechickens.
That was a surprise for the GTO boys the first time they bought a shifter.
Sorry about draggin' this out so long. Since this factoid had already been pointed out and you guys are such eagle eyes I though it'd be over in 5 minutes....
Adios,
Brett
PS. Well, at least we now know who of you have had to dig through a mountain of bellhousings at the junk yard before. Extra points if you still have all your fingers.
