The Red Beast is an Autostik....my long legs preclude me from shifting a manual in these cars. I am the second owner of this car I purchased it as a lease return and it came out of Florida originally with 14,900 miles. I have about doubled the mileage over the years and those miles were mostly at the Dragon and cruise in's and car shows. My first mod on the car was the factory backlighted door sills. My last has been the stereo. Any further questions just ask!
