Not sure if there's any truth to it, but I had only seen them in automatics...

All the a-bodies were available with a manual trans at some time or another. (Up till 85 or 86 you could also get them with a 4.3L diesel engine.) Pretty sure it was the 82-86 models that could have a 4 speed, and 87-88 models could have a Getrag 5 speed. Ive seen only a few ever, they were indeed pretty rare. Bench seat models had a trucklike floor shifter. Bucket seat models had a cool looking shifter integrated into the console.
