Now, I'm no expert but according to the sales brochure the only regal in 1983 with overdrive was the T-Type. Now most T-Types that I've seen have a floor shifter however, the brochure says 55/45 seats were available. So I'd have to say the gauge your looking for exists........ somewhere out there. Probably hiding under another pile of rat sh*t. :mrgreen:

I think that is going to be a tough find you might have to resort to finding or having an indicator sticker made for the gauge or a plastic overlay.
Or possibly modify a later model cars overdrive indicator from a junk yard to fit.

Well I looked at the 4 sport dashes I have no luck and didn't know they made one now I want one for my wagon when I put the o.d. trans in it. Now I'm on the hunt for one or two if they are out there.

They do exist, I have one in my 83 T Type. Sorry about the poor picture I'll try to get a better one later.

I wonder if that is a Canadian market brochure. Looks like only one engine has CCC, it was my understanding that in the US market, GM went to CCC across the board for the 1981 model year, and was on certain 1980 models as well.
