Yes they made 1800's with automatics, but it sucked the life out of the car(automatics wern't that great in the 60's, they relied on v8s with torque to overcome thier problems), plus it took the joy out of a good heel to toe downshift while hitting the perfect curve in the road. My 780 is my only automatic equipped car and this wiil change with the engine, I am of the belief that cars were meant to have 3 pedles(or 4 with a foot operated emergency brake). But of course these are just my old fashioned opinions, if you prefer a slush to a stick, all the more power to you.

Enjoy
