so the time has come for me to get rid of a few of my cars to give me room and money to finish my projects.
one of the cars that is most likely going to be sold is a 5 speed 89 SC with a built engine (built bye Precision) fresh paint, mint interior, etc. the problem is the 5 speed thats in it grinds bad in third, and if you take it close to redline in first and second it wont shift into the next gear until you let the rpms drop a little. Well i also have a parts car that has a perfect shifting auto trans in it with only around 40k on it.
so my question is would the car be worth more with the 5 speed in need of a rebuild or the auto trans that has no issues?
and keep in mind i might drive the car for a few months untill my other SC is up and running (i cant be without a running tbird, i know, i have a problem lol) and when i do sell it, it will be to another tbird/ford guy so i know it doesnt get wrecked and hauled to the shredder or used for parts like most of the SC's i see on craigslist these days.
