4 speed conversion. Help or hurt value of car?

IMO, A potential buyer with some knowledge will likely use the 4spd conversion as a negative in the negotiation of the sale (even though it's what they would prefer). So I'd think it could cost you with that buyer.

Cheap buyers will use anything to try and lower the price, legit or not. If you don't lower the price, it doesn't cost you anything but time talking to a cheap bastard.

If some sleazy buyer is gonna try to tell me my car is worth less because it's a four speed now my response is "then go buy a car with an automatic".

I got no patience for guys like that.....there's the door....Go buy a Neon.
When my S-clone was fresh, we went to a few shows, and I learned real quick that there are lots of those guys out there.So I stopped going as a participant.
I quickly got tired of :"you shoulda this or you shoulda that, or how come such and such, or my uncle had one of these -insert favorite non-Barracuda here." Yeah, I suppose I'm a little crusty like that...

Exactly!

That's not crusty. Tire kickers like that drive me nuts. I stopped going to shows for the same reason. I don't need a bunch of douchbags that drove a Kia to the show telling me what I should've done to my car.

Or all the rich jerks at the shows that have "perfect" original cars that they never drive and paid someone else to build pointing out stuff that's not original on my car. Those aren't car guys, they're investors. Trailer queens are boring as hell. I'd rather see a car that's not perfect, isn't 100% stock, and generally looks like the owner actually drives it and works on it.
