That sounds like a COPO ordering procedure, but unless you can provide more info, it smells too much like . Sorry, but officailly GM never made a 350 5-speed in the 3rd Gen. You'll have to prove otherwise. Even the 1LE cars that had to be special ordered with specific options were 305 5-speeds.

Take a chill pill. I'm not blasting you. I'm simply saying if you're gonna make a claim that goes against what is commonly accepeted, then you should provide some proof. I'd love to hear about a 350 TPI factory option. It would be a sweet one to collect.

And I'm certainly not going to research other people's claims. If you want people to believe you, you need to be able to back up what you say.

That's interesting. Definitely worth more research. I remember when the 1LE came out, and of course, the 350 was not available with the 5-speed (according to everything I read at the time). If this is real, it's probably the rarest and most valueable 3rd Gen. If you ever see a documented example of an original 350 5-speed 1LE, please let me know.

I'm not calling BS, but I am skeptical. I've been an F-body fan for 25 years, and never once heard about this combo until now. Even one of the links to a story on an 89 1LE says the 5-speed is only available with a 305 and the 350 comes only with the automatic. Definitely worth more research. Let me know if you have any more info on this.
