    Remember, the mid to late 70's a auto trans was more option than not in the mid and compact size cars. A girl I knew, her mom got a brand new 4 door Granada with a 4 speed ( don't know what engine). Seen online a couple more of these wagons with factory 4 speed and a couple Volaries also. I've also driven a plain jane 4 door slant six Volarie with a factory 4 speed. I have also seen local a few years back for sale a 79/80 Fairmont 2 door with factory 302 (2V) and 4 speed..... really diged that car even though it was tan on tan.


    One of these,

    Go to the local Drag Strip anywhere and you get to see what happen to the Malibu wagons and coupes.

    Amazing! The owner offered it to me for $7K before the auction, but I didn't feel comfortable going quite that high. :slap:
