Also the auto equipped cars, with a His N Hers shifter, came with shift kit and higher stall converter from the factory.

i can stop by his house and ask him if he still has the car.
from what i remember about the car,a kid had the car for sale at an oil change place for $1500 around 1980.
my brother was going to buy it but wife shot him down.

Update from the original owner...

Sold it 1976 to a 18 year old kid when I lived in Columbus. Decided to keep the 442 as I needed to get a family car since I had 2 year and 5 year old kids. The W31 was one of only 7 builds that had an automatic. No racing strips from the factory. You might check with the paperwork I sent you for a VIN number. Hopefully the young fellow I sold it to didn't trash it, he didn't know much about cars. Think I sold it for $1800 as I recall.

There were approx 913 total W-31s of all variants built in 1969. There is no official break down of how many were auto vs manual, but suffice it to say, there were more than 7 made.

I assumed the same thing, not sure where he got that number from?
