What class do you think this would fall in?

Ohh another quick question. The manual is very rare... can you take an automatic and legally put the manual into it? does it need to be the exact year (the only year) that it was offered with a manual if I do use an Automatic as a "doner"

Thanks again,

If there was only one year the car was available with a manual transmission, that is the only year that can be classified in IT... so yes, you're stuck with that particular model year for the "declared" build. However, with the recent hatcheting of the VIN rule, there may still be some wiggle room with respect to the birthdate of the tub itself. Just my opinion, but I drove by a Holiday Inn Express last night.
