Hi there. It's funny you should focus on the 3-speed auto. There's an
awful lot more hindering the car's performance than that... ;) It's heavy,
heavy, heavy at over 3500 lbs, has an ancient live axle, leaf-spring rear
suspension, numb-on-centre recirculating ball steering, and a seriously
detuned engine.
Of course, most of that can be either fixed or worked around... Wish me
luck! ;)
