if this doesn't  make you want a stick, nothing ever will.

Gosh Jay,
Thanks for stick'n up for us "pink shirters". You're like the big brother I never had.

These lumber-jack type standard-trans guys make us slush boxies want to cry. I'm gonna tell mom!

Me thinks you would have passed on the Torino if it was an auto car. 

If it was an auto car, it wouldn't have been a Drag Pack car, so you're right about that, Howie...

Am I missing something here.... There are lots of drag Pack autos....Its the staggered shocks that are 4spd only..

[jayb]

Maybe I'm missing something; I was under the impression that the Drag Pack cars were 4-speed only.  If that is not the case, then maybe I would've still bought that Torino, even if it was an auto.  In any case I have to agree, though, that it is cooler with the 4 speed...

[427Fastback]

Its cool that its complete,a 4spd and has survived...Most of the factory 4spd big block cars got wrecked or stripped..And the bonus drag pack option just makes it sweeter
I have been looking after a 69 SCJ Mach I for 20 years.All original drivetrain including the automatic.
Thus my comment...

I learned how to drive in my uncle's 68 mustang fastback . 390 4v with a top loader and 3.73 rear gear. I was 15. Dam I loved that car. He wasn't a serious gearhead or anything and all he ever did was put a set of hookers on it and stuck a fireball cam in it and those old straight through thrush mufflers.  She rattled the old windows in the farm house. To this day everytime I hear someone kicking out the base rattling the trunk lids in there donk's I think how the best rattle of all comes from a big block FE ford. Dam I wanted that car..

I know it's not a FE or a Ford, but my favorite stick car video.

Lumber jack? How dare you, we stick men know how to....oh, forget it, no sex talk here! hah!

Just to fuel the fire a little.
I dont consider a Lenco a true stick.
It kind of occupies the land between auto and stick.
To me a stick means having to push a clutch and shift an H pattern.

So what was a B+M "Hydro-Stick"?  Just a GM 4-speed Hydramatic with a manual valve body?  I realize I'm dating myself here
