just wondering what percentage of V8 f-bodies came with 5 speed transmissions?

 

Don't have a clue what the numbers are, but I had a hard time finding one of those bellhousings in the junkyards.

 

Do you have a stick 3rd gen in Ottawa? I thought I had the only one. Everyone I have ever met has an auto. They are common in the States though.

 

no i don't have one, might be buying one though. anyway there's an 87 IROC for sale at donnely's bargain lot, $4500 with a 5 speed. the car i'm looking at is an 85 iroc 5 speed, it's in the stated though.

 

Its hard to find a standard camaro around where i am in MA. The numbers are probally 10% or so.

 

Wow that's pretty cheap from Donnelly's if the car isn't trashed. Must be because they are a Ford Dealer. I have a '91 and like I said whenever I take it in for servicing etc... (in Ottawa at the GM Dealerships) the computer always reads Z28 = 350cu & auto instead of 305 & 5speed. Hope the '85 is a nice car cause I am not sure with the exchange how you could beat the deal on the '87. I'm selling mine and usually people get excited when they hear 5 speed - especially in Canada but primarily because I haven't raced it. Most of the people I meet down here with 5 speeds have beat the crap out of them. I apologise to all those who haven't. I just haven't met you.

Good Luck

well the car isn't mint, but i think it's a great deal, with exchange rate it come to ~$2500. it's in decent shape, a little rust and high miles. LG4 powered with some mods, best 1/4 of 15.2. it comees with another LG4 with 50k on it to replace the one in the car when it dies. it's got posi, new shocks, and lots of uprgaded parts. Also got T-top, tinted windows, and a good stereo system cUz U gOtZZ tO cRuZe iN StYleE Yo!
