Automatic or manual?

Here's my 2C: In Aug 1970 I was torn between a Plum Crazy 340 TF and a nice green w/blk vinyl roof 340 'cuda stick (at Fred F. Cain in Wilmington, MA, owner of the first Funny Car in New England, The Hurricane). If it was the other way around, I would have bought the 'Cuda with a TF trans. To me, back then, the TF was the best automatic around, and the 4-spd mopars were not as slick as the other brands unless you tore them down and removed every other tooth on the synchros. Don't get me wrong, sticks are fun, like my 5 speed Saab Viggen (for sale), but I'd go with the TF. In fact, I just did (again) 45 years later.
