My first GTO was a 4speed as this one is now. I would never have an automatic in a GTO of any year. 66 Tempest Custom and 63 GP were daily drivers and I actually didn't miss the 4peeds with them.
The 1st GTO was my 1st car and was a daily driver for the time I had it. Not really a great thing to have in the winter months up north on icy roads. But now days seeing this one is out only on dry roads Spring Summer and Fall, it's the only way to go even with the traffic here in my neck of the burbs.
So I say go for it... you'll have more fun with the 4speed Paul.
