Default Re: Automatic vs. Stick (value)

Not on a 1970 L78 Camaro, I brought a 70 L78 that was originally a 4 speed that
someone had put in a TH400 and the car ran Great with it. I am not sure why GM
chose to install 4-speeds only. Someone in CA claims to have an original L78 with
an M-40 but the owner will not let us authenticate the car.

Starting in 1967, with the advent of TH400, this changed, but all the hi-po cars (HO and Ram Air) were rarer with autos by a pretty decent margin.

I have a 67 GTO, 400 HO/Auto. ~4000 of them, but there were close to 10,000 HO/sticks. While I don't subscribe to the rarer is better mentality, this one's a keeper - well optioned, has a color combo I like, and the <u>Hurst Dual Gate</u> makes it a little more interesting...
