Verts, if in good condition, always fetch more coin than hard or t-tops. It's worth at least checking out. I'd also pop the oil fill cap to see what kind of gunk could be in the engine.

I'm actually not 'trollin. I'm the original owner of my '94, and I'm not sure I've ever been in another LT1 Camaro. I think I recall hearing about an interior refresh, but I don't think I've ever seen it. I've never been in an LS1. I feel old and out of touch, just like my car.

I think I paid $650 to get a car shipped form Cali to MA in a open trailer; you may be surprised at how inexpensive it is.

OK. I guess it depends on what you want to do, what you like etc. Personally, I've always preferred manual transmissions, at least in performance oriented automobiles. I like changing gears. I think it enhances the driver experience, gives you more control, transfers more of the engine's power to the wheels etc. I hear automatics are good for drag racing, and I guess there could be a myriad of reasons why someone might prefer an automatic transmission.

I'd get an auto if im doing 10s in the quarter and im blowing clutches/rears due to no preloading of the drivetrain... otherwise, 6speed buddy had an auto LT1 with a s/c on it, and it was boring not being able to shift again, personal preference.
