NO!
do not sell that car (72 mach 1) ... the classic machs are our heritage, and you've got both lucky bastard, i missed out on the classic mach
the auto machs are slower than the manuals due to the tranny sapping more power, but the important thing is you've got one....whatever you do do not sell the classic

tuner will help A LOT, allow shift point changes, rev limiter bump, but for racing consistency is key, and the auto delivers that...well just dont sell the 72 either.
