  I can think of another Chrysler that did not sell.it had a super powerful
  motor that was impossible to keep running, a transmission that was balky, a
  clutch that constantly failed, horrible build quality, terrible resale
  values and in 1971, Chrysler (Plymouth) could only manage orders for a
  meager 10 or so..it was called the hemi 'Cuda.

  John - with all due respect, there is no way you can truly compare your 
  stick G with the Hemi Cuda. It just doesn't wash. As far as the 4 speed F's are 
  concerned, Wayne knows a hell of a lot more about them than I , but even I 
  know that they were never intended for the general public. They were made to 
  race at Daytona, and the few that were distributed, were given (not sold) to 
  faithful (and well known to Chrysler) Chrysler buyers of many years. They 
  were not a failed marketing program - they were very different and special 
  vehicles. The stick G's were simply something that, by most opinions, should 
  never have been allowed to leave the factory. It is conceivable that the added 
  price for the stick was there so nobody would buy it. If it were my car (and 
  obviously it is yours, not mine) I would have been sooo gone with the 
  $160,000.00 that you would not have even seen my dust.

  Another consideration - had you taken that $160,000.00 it would have been a 
  private sale, out of sight of the IRS. Sell it at auction and you had better 
  be prepared to pay the income tax on whatever profit you make. That would 
  mean that your sales price would have to be well in excess of $190,000 or 
  $200,000 for you to break even with the $160,000.00 you turned down. Just a 
  thought.
