    4 speed conversion. Help or hurt value of car?

    I'm with Rainy day auto. every car show I go to and see a real nice car. I always look to see if it's a manual. almost all the guy's I hang with look for the same thing. unless your into racing the manual is way more fun, but will never match a good auto on the strip.
