Yeah I was looking for someone in the area that might be able to help. Unsure if it’s something I can tackle alone completely. Have done the research just need a hand.

Its missing the GT body kit. Could still be a manual but its rare to see one without that body kit. Can you confirm that both cars are manual?

There were no 5 speed manuals in the US. It was the auto and 6 speed manual which were generally ordered with the GT kit. It’s possible it could be a base sport or touring model but those were rarer on the 6 speed manual option.
