An FL car does not necessarily mean it lived in a pristine situ: huge sun/radiation exposure, heavy morning dews from Nov to April, salt air is ubiquitous along any coast, and a few idiots drive theirs on the beach, catching salt water spray/waves, fwiw...Daytona has that kind of beach.
Looking for a 5 or 6 spd is like looking for that poifect but rare situ: when one ain't looking, they are around. When on the hunt, it is slim pickings.

You are absolutely correct. I have spent enough time down around that area to see how the saltyness can destroy things. Thanks for the heads up about driving on the beach. Ill have to get someone to look it over the paint closely if I decide to go for it.
