August 28, 200421 yr Just doing a simple survey. How many of you have, or know of in still in existence, (not in a salvage yard), any Gen 1/ stage 1 or 2, AUTOMATIC transmission car? (Any body style). Obviously they would all be 2WD, as the 4WDs were all 4 speeds. Just trying to get a feel of the rarity of these cars. Thanks all! Todd
August 29, 200421 yr Still have that '78 - FINALLY got the stupid engine out of it like a week ago. Tranny is still up for grabs if you want/need it. I'm going to pull it and keep it around just in case anyone ever needs it.... GD
August 29, 200421 yr I see one regularily here in Prescott. Best part is,it's owned by an old lawyer. He's had it since birth. Stock yellow wagon.
August 29, 200421 yr there is a lady runnin around here with a 79 woody auto havn't seen it lately cause of working a different shift
August 29, 200421 yr There was one at Wingsstuff in Denver recently, 76 or so 2wd Auto wagon in a yellow paint color.
August 29, 200421 yr Author Hmm...seems like yellow was the color for many of the automatics! (Including mine) I know they were not the best sellers back when they all were new. So I would imagine there are only a handful still on the road. Todd
August 30, 200421 yr there is a grey 4 door sedan with an auto and a golf ball sized hole in the block, here at the pap. uh, '78 i think -mike
August 30, 200421 yr Author What is with these holes in the blocks! My 78 had a thrown rod. I have seen a few others with that golf ball size hole right behind the distrib. Guess that's the weakness with high mileage, age and no oil! Todd
