Like OMT said, if you will be happy with a 4 door car, jump on it. It actually could be a lot of fun, too. I'd change the transmission fluid and check the vacuum line leading to the vacuum modulator on the transmission. More than likely the fluid is a little low and/or it has some varnish buildup causing the slow shifting and flaring. If you take it somewhere to have the fluid changed, have them also do a band adjustment on the tranny, as torquing the bands to spec might also help. The cost of all of this is next to nothing. With only a grand in the car your mind is free to think of some pretty neat things to do with it, including a custom paint job if you so desire.
