I found a manual trans 300d / cloth interior /different bumpers...

wondered if it would be a factory 5 speed?.. looks to be all factory.. couple a pics.
Seems that 4 speeds were not put behind factory 300d IIRC?

Either a 4 or 5-speed, 5 being the more desireable. Looks pretty beat though!

Nice aftermarket dash pad!

You've got your work cut out for you on that one.

I say it's worth it for the manny tranny. Unless it's more corrosion than steel,

or if it's posessed like Christine...
