Noooo! Don't touch it! Being an automatic makes it somewhat rare by itself. I don't know the production breakdown by transmission, but I'm thinking about 5% percent of US/Can cars were automatics. That comes to about 831 cars for the 84 year. Out of those cars, there can't be more than 10 that have under 10k miles, and maybe 2 with a sunroof delete.

Unfortunately, with such low miles it's my opinion to keep it that way and turn it over to someone who will preserve it for others to enjoy looking at. Then use the money from the sale to go buy a nice one that you can drive around.

i'd enjoy looking at it much more if it had a manual transmission
