Hey guys! I've been lurking too long, finally joined.

I really want to keep a manual trans but all the four speeds are expensive and out of my price range. The 727 is already on the teen and came with the motor, but if I can find a good four speed for around $500 or less I would love to get one. The only one i've seen for sale recently around here was $1,000 and for a B body. about 7 months ago there was a four speed that I saw for a 73 A body and the guy was asking $500 but seeing as how I just bought the motor, I couldn't buy the four speed. Even if I have to go with an automatic for now, In the future there's a 100% chance of a manual trans finding it's way back in that car. Me and my friends always called automatics ***** sticks and I believe that real hot rods and muscle cars should have three pedals, maybe i'll be able to buy one before too long. I'll just have to see what comes up for sale




Ok..I now feel older :) I have kids your age..

Really enjoy your scoot...I did not come from a family that enjoyed cars...cars were only to get from A to B..if only my dad had bought a winged car when they cam out and put it into storage...

My uncle bought two HEMI cars brand new back in 68 and 69. One was a 68 Charger, It was lime green and I believe it had the HEMI hood scoop on it too. He also bought a yellow 69 Super Bee. They were both four speed cars. He had the Super Bee for a year or two and then sold it off but he kept the Charger for 25 years or so and sold it off in the 90's. He REALLY loved street racing that Charger and regrets selling both of the cars. When I ask him about it he tells me about the sheer power of the fire breathing 426 under the hood and how it would throw you in the back seat. If I can find pictures of them i'll be sure to post them.
