And so it begins! That's great that you can find out about the car from the previous owners, and an engine with only 16k on it should be in great shape and serve you well for many years.

Ultramatics certainly weren't designed to be shifted from low to high, low range is a completely separate gear, like reverse is. Not sure what damage would have been done, that is, if it's rebuildable, but if not finding another one shouldn't be too difficult. The transmission other than being damaged, should otherwise be worn out, it only has 16k on it as well.

Keep us posted on your progress, you're project has certainly garnered plenty on interest on the forum.
