I have seen those before, I have never used one but I have been told they can be a little fussy to keep working. Kind of cool to tell people you have a Dana on your bike.
 
It's a Dana three speed. Made by the same Dana that makes car and truck transmissions. Early to mid 70's.

Virtually indestructible, except for the plastic shifting mechanism in the transmission unit.

Not really rare, I see complete NOS kits pop up now and then.
 
You see them pop up on EBay every so often, but they were never a factory fitting, as far as I know. I'd like to try one, if I can ever run across one at a good price.
