Should be RARE, since GM NEVER made a STOCK 3rd Gen car

Second thought on that 350 5sp, Its just a 305 TPI. A another case of someone selling a car with a 350, SURE it is! One on E-bay right now. Calling it a 350 with the Vin indicates a 305. Now that not Rare.

I told him his car was a 305, and showed him how I could tell at a glance. I also mentioned in an off-hand way, that 'someone' was trying to pass off a 305 as a 350, but obviously doesn't know how easy it is to tell the difference. He he said he was just a salesman, but that he would let the lot owner know. To his credit, the next day I went back down there again and they had taken the '350 engine' part off the for-sale sign.

As for these 50 manual cars in 86. First off most records indicate that there were only a few of the 50 cars that were supossibly manuals with the 350s. Secondly, better records show, that they infact were all autos. I have heard both sides of the argument and i supported that there were manuals untill i got better info on the matter and found out i was actually incorrect According to a book GM had its hand in writing. If you have any questions talk to Jim85Iroc, i dont have the book on hand right now, but he'll straighten out any discrepencies over the issue.

I was responding to dave89gta, sorry i didnt use a quote. A far as the issue, i felt it was summed up by about the 3rd post, so i dont see the problem. I always wonder when a simple question gets 70 similar replies. It happens more in othre forums.
