Get a Marti report on the car (if you want info from the factory records):

The car was definately a C-coded 429 though from the VIN.

Check the drivers door for the Vehicle Certification Label.  Thats where the transmission code is.  Transmission codes are on the bottom right of the label, not the last code but the one just to the left of that.  A 5 or a 6 is a 4 speed manual car.  A W or a U is an automatic.

BTW value without the 429 is going to be seriously less.  Lincoln motors are considered boat anchors.  If the 4 speed is gone thats another serious blow.
