I'm guessing that being north of the border may open up some issues that result in such a combo of parts, or a lack of them. The owner, as I read the post, is an older man. If he ordered it new, he may not have wanted the amenities that we all take for granted.

As an aside, my ex-father-in-law worked for a lady who owned a driveline business. She died several years ago, but the last car she ordered new was a '72 Plymouth Satellite 4-dr sedan, with a 6-cyl and 3 on the tree. She was past 80 when she ordered it and took delivery. It was a cheesy medium green with a green vinyl interior. She could have bought anything she wanted, for cash, but was frugal until the day she died, working everyday at her store until then. Older folks have two ways of dealing with stuff: pinching every cent until Lincoln squeals or spending what they have on what they want, it seems. They know that they can't take it with 'em and they may not want their heirs to have it, either.
