Could you order a 1960 Dynamic 88 Sceni-Coupe with synchromesh, 260 horsepower engine, and power steering? I know you could not get power brakes on the synchromesh cars (have no idea why). I have a dealership data manual, but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for. It also does not have accessory prices.
Thank you for reading this.

I know one could order a synchromeshh tranny for the Super 88 with 4 bbl. carb, as I had one. Can't speak to the Dynamic 88.

The syncromesh trans was standard on all Dynamic 88's and Super 88's.
However , probably less than one percent of them were so equipped .
Power brakes were not offered on syncromesh cars because the upper clutch linkage bellcrank was in the same place as the power booster would be .

This is '61 & '62 linkage . '59 & '60 linkage is similar ;

I don't have numbers for 1960 but, in 1961, 1,515 88s had synchromesh, and another 176 Super 88s had synchromesh.

The numbers are from the GM Heritage Center. I suspect 1960 numbers will be similar, though perhaps a few more....?
