Wow that's tall order. How old of a vehicle were you thinking of? The big sticking point is RWD. By the late 1980s most American car manufacturers had abandoned that platform in favor of FWD.Some full sized cars survived beyond that with 4 doors butvery few had a manual tranny, unless it was a custom job aftermaket or special ordered from the factory. If you went with a 2 door, the search might be easier as you have the Ford Mustang, and Chevy Camaro for starters.
