I considered ones with Automatic trans less than desirable,

When I combed the Pick-A-Part yards in Riverside CA back in the mid 80's, they were just cars. I'd say I saw 2 GTO's for every Firebird, but they were there. The real trove of engine parts and rims came from the Grand Prixs. #13 heads and XH blocks complete were very common. The one that got away was a 69 Lemans with a red interior. It was perfect, and I just didn't have enough time to pull out what I wanted and it was gone the next day. Then there was the 71 Ram Air Formula 4-speed with the functional Ram Air hood. I didn't take it, because it had cracked ribs near the windshield. What a dumbass... it haunts me.
