re: #191 thedopefishlives

You can get a classic with an automatic and not have it be lame. I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental - the hugest of the huge land yachts of the 1970’s, built with a 400 ci V8 that struggles to make as much horsepower as my daily driver’s turbo inline 4 and Ford’s legendary C6 automatic transmission. I imagine the feeling of driving it is similar to driving a tank, only smoother.

I’ve always been partial to the muscle cars… first generation Mustangs in particular, but anything in that mid/late 60s to early 70s era works for me.

If I was getting something like a 55 Bel Air or an old school woody surf wagon, it being an auto wouldn’t really bother me.
