Chevrolet made an engine called the BIG BLOCK BOB?? Well, that's a heck of a coincidence, since I'm Bob too!! I think it's got a 5 speed 'cause the picture on the ball at the top of the shiftin' stick has a 1,2,3,4, and R. That adds up to 5 in Kansas, although it would only be 4 in Arkansas.

You're close on the name. The teacher is Miss Ellie, but she called the car Jane. Plain and simple.
