The advice I got here and elsewhere when I was shopping was to find the most complete, drivable, rust-free car I could regardless of drivetrain configuration, and that is what I did. I ended up with a '67 automatic. I mainly use the car to take the girlfriend out to dinner, or go grab coffee on the weekends, so it gets the job done with perfect adequacy.

I've got an manual transmission with overdrive I plan to install with a perked up B20 at some point in the future. Main reason for the switch is not dissatisfaction with the BW35 in the car, but because I worry about future parts and service availability/cost on the automatic.
