Bill,
I raced (strip and street) a 64 Fairlane 500 Sportscoup 289 HP that had a T-10, the only 4 speed available at the time, and blew the second gear synchros twice, fortunately covered by the Ford dealership. I really liked that car, but "intelligence" caught up to me and I bought a 66 Mustang 2 plus 2. It had a toploader.
