Just curious, if you had to choose between a 1980 240 with manual transmission or 1990 240 with auto which would you choose? Why?

Personally, I like the 1980...it has a little bit more coolness factor with the dual round headlights but I'm not sure of the engine in the 1980? Is it a B21 or B23?

I know the 90 pretty well since I drive a 91 daily but there is something about the 80 that grabs my attention a little more. I'm worried about the cost of ownership on the 80 since it has mechanical injection....Is that something that needs more attention than the electronic injection like the 2.4 I'm so used to?

Thanks for your feedback.
