Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
Back In the early 80s a customer dropped of an 81 Malibu wagon. It had a brake problem so I went on a road test. The car was a V-6 three speed manual and the brake pedal sank slowly to the floor when applied and took a lot of effort to stop. I thought that I was into a master cylinder and a brake booster. Lifted the hood and it had manual brakes! I have never seen another with manual brakes or another Iraqi wagon.
fun thread...
I have seen a small handful of these over the year in the wreckers - I had always referred to them as "Iraqi-taxi's".
The last one I saw, I pulled the shifter arm from... I figure it's the same one used on Malibu coupes or the super rare 1978+ manual transmission Monte Carlo
