Thanks guys, that helps. I wasn't looking for more or less value in the car, but rather, if coversions were done, such as swapping the trany, that they were done well and not a "hack" job of sorts. The guy selling the car says it does shift well through all the gears and so I guess thats whats most important. It might even be a T5 conversion instead of a swap with a later car. I'll have to wait until next week to get the car and look it over better. Gary

I'm buying a 1976 2+2 (California) next week. The seller says it has the original engine and trany. How can I verify if it really does (eg, how can you determine matching numbers on these cars). It has a 5 sp trany which I didn't think was available in 1976 models. If it turns out not to be the original trany, how can I determine if it came from a 1977 or 1978 or later ZX (I believe there was a difference in some of the gear ratios)? Thanks Gary
