You like a Automatic or Stick for an old mustang?

Right now my 65' a code stang has an automatic. I dont' like it. It's boring. [sm=boosign.gif]When I had my '67 stang back in highschool it had a 3 speed manual. It was GREAT. I could drive all sporty with that glugging engine with my hand on the shifter. [sm=gears.gif]It feel hotrodish!

I want my stick again... [sm=boohoo.gif]

What do you guys like?

4spd for sure. My 65 had the original automatic when I bought it. I've since done the conversion to a 4spd toploader and love it.

my 66 came with a 3 spd when i get it but i didnt like how it felt so i upgraded to a T5 5spd and i love it and i odnt think i could ever own an auto cause like said above they are so boring i had to drive an auto grandmarquis back from GA and almost fell asleep cause it was so boring in the stop and go traffic after Thanksgiving.

I don't like an automatic in anything. I like having all the control over what my vehicle is going to do.

5 speed conversion. Overdrive is a nice feature especially when running a steep gear in the rear.

+1... 5 Speed Baby!

I've got a 4 speed in my '66, and an auto in everything else. I love that old toploader...but I do want to go to a 5 speed.
