Hey guys just saying hi from Edmonton and am wondering if this was a good buy' the car has over 260 k on it with a rebuilt motor' there asking $4400. Also is there somthing against an automatic? whats the big hype on a 5 speed transmission' is there any advantage to it ' if so what' just curious. Im looking to be getting a foxbody as soon as i can but need to do my homework ' been checking out this site and am loving it '! thanks
