Beautiful car. Would love the opportunity to drive one; I keep trying to talk friends and family into buying one when they say they are looking for a new vehicle.

I was looking at them the other day, considering one but after driving the 6 and the 8 auto, they left me completely cold. And of course no local dealers had a manual. I mean really, who buys these things AUTO?!?!

The look of the car is great, and I love the design of the convertible, but I want the power its purported to have...and didnt find in the few I drove.
You can't be surprised, its over 4000 pounds

I ran into the same problem with Challengers... 4 dealers and none had a Challenger RT in a stick shift. When I told them that was stupid, they looked at me like I sprouted a 3rd head. I told them I want a "drivers car" not some F'in slush box.

Don't know what it is with MOPAR guys, but they don't really seem to know how to shift their own gears. They should change the logo to a rainbow.
Same can be said about turbo 350s

Nope, wrong, it can't. The vast majority of performance optioned Chevys in 68-72 had Muncies. The majority of performance optioned MOPARs of the period had slush boxes.

The slush boxes didn't dominate the Chevy performance lineup until the later 70s, and by then the performance era was essentially over...a huge number of Turbo 350 Late 75-82 Vettes were two pedal cars.
