Value of a muncie 4 speed?

[DOUGGN]

Passenger side speedometer Muncie's outsell Pontiac ones 10 to 1 or more. Pontiac also had a long tailhousing/mainshaft application. I've never heard of anyone needing the long shaft version and I've followed closely since the mid 90's. I agree with you if the gears are all good and the countershaft bore isn't blown out on the case. Ive paid $800-1000 plenty of times for certain used ones like the one i described in my prior post. Usually 10 spline input 69 dated Norwood stamped units. Finding used Muncie's in good condition is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. They are so badly beaten the case is shot as well as at least one speed gear, both synchro assemblies, and the shift forks are almost always worn too much to be used in a remanufactured trans. I've remanufactred plenty of "rebuilt" muncie's. Big difference between the two terms imo.

In the Pontiac community a "Pontiac Muncie" will always bring more than the chevrolet version - because there are "10 times" as many of the others out there. Take it to a Pontiac meet or advertise it as a pontiac and it will draw the right people for the purchase. Many times I have had to settle for the chevrolet version only to have to go out and try to find the right tail shaft for a GTO. The long shaft versions are for the big cars and they are not as desirable. The short tail shaft muncies are what most people really are needing for the high dollar GTO restorations.

All anyone ever needs to do if they want one is call Reeds. No need to search at swap meets only to come up empty handed or with some junk with broken bosses, blown out taper pin hole, or stripped threads. Clean and ready to assemble tail housings like in the picture. There are a lot more than in the pic too. Whenever you want he has a big load of pontiac tail housings and a few Pontiac only main shafts to sell you. If your interested give him a call.
