How much is it going to cost to fix it? Is it worth it, if the answer is yes you should swap the front end from a newer one, much sexier.

they want five grand to fix it . i'll do most of the work myself and found my own parts so it will knock it down to $1200. I'm looking for another one i want a V8 manual. i saw a 71 formula that i fell in love with i might see if i can get that or one like it.

lol why is that. The one I want has a rebuilt 400c.i. with new edelbrock carb. Headers with new 2 1/2 inch exhaust and new flowmaster mufflers. i wouldn't do anything to it unless it needed it.Putting chevy parts in an old pontiac like that is blasphemy

autos are for people who want to go fast.... and not loose a quarter second everytime they shift...True for those that only go in straight lines, not so much for those that like to choose the right gear for coming out of a corner. If you lose a 1/4 of a second every time you shift you have no business driving at a strip.

I guarantee you changing my car from the 5 speed to a properly setup auto and leaving everything else identical would have dropped a second off my ET
boost and autos only make sense
a dogbox would be fun ripping gears though, and sound schweeet

Only thing i'm worried about down there is being away from my car for more than a minute or two.. Seems like hondas have a bad case of disappearing down there...
