I know there were some 3 & 4 speed 3rd gen A bodies, but this one is a 4 door and STILL has the pedals and drivetrain!

I can't buy it but someone should!

Reminds me of the "Iraqi Taxis" we built in '81.

I couldn't do it.....nope, just couldn't do it.....man, that is not a pretty car - considering how good they looked a few years before.

I emailed the seller, he doesn't know anything about it, doesn't know what engine is in it, and not even sure if it's a 3 speed or 4 speed...
I've seen some 305/4 speed wagons even (GM was funny in the '80's) and some V6/3 speed stripper coupes, but never a 4 speed 4 door.

that IS nice. I agree w/ the posters over there, IDK what I would do with that. I had a '78 'bu w/ the 3 speed stick. previous owner swapped a junkyard small block in it. car had lots of potential, but needed everything and I wasn't in a position to do it.
