Default Re: Automatic vs. Stick (value)

I said the same thing as Joe until I bought my '70 Camaro. I have 3 M-21 cars and one TH 350 for cruising. Yeah a manual transmission is fun, but the auto is easier to drive. Value wise, I wouldn't pay more for a manual then an auto.

A lot of people in the hobby frown upon auto cars but lately I have seen some really nice Mopars, and BBC Chevys with autos getting equal attention. There is a local '70 Cuda with a 440 6-pack, black/black torque flight auto with steel wheels and dog dish caps that I would buy in a heart beat. Auto/Manual comes down to the originality of the car, paperwork, quality of restoration (if it applies) just like anything else. Good luck, what car is in question?
