Nice car. I love the color! Maybe instead of selling it you should swap it to an automatic! I'm sure the manual wouldn't be hard to sell and automatic torqueflights can be found relatively cheap and easy. I'm sure if you sell it you will wind up regretting it. What type of asking price are you thinking?
I had a 69 Bee that was originally a 4 speed that the previous owner switched to a automatic for drag racing. He pulled the linkage and left the pedal and under dash stuff in it. Just push the pedal to the floor and leave it there for the next guy.
