Thanks Dan, was there ever a company offering an option or do all the autos we now see come from donor cars, marinas etc ?

As far as I know all auto conversions are homebrew. I dare-say one or two have been done professionally, but I'm not aware of any companies that have advertised it as a service.

They do exist though, using Marina running gear normally.

thanks, would you think that an auto box specified, would generally mean a larger engine has been fitted also ?
