The previous owner swapped it to an auto and didn't save any of the parts. So rather than buy everything all over again to make it stick, he is just keeping it auto.

Yeah, we took it off cleanly. Where do you think the best place to sell it is?

The engine is ready and waiting for it. Its a 383 with 500hp/500tq @ the flywheel. He is thinking of a dark purple metallic color. This will be mainly his weekend car with the occasional track pass.
