LoL, depends on what car and what motor, many buick elantras? had 2.5's, other chevys had much lower geared stuff depends on what it was marketed toward, you had a whole rainbow of variety back then.

I would also argue that a 3sp doesn't mean you necessarily have a high rearend, some vehicles top out at 65mph in top, just depends on the motor and size of the car.

The bigger stuff you likely want is much more likely to have airplane gears though
