seriously, walk away. if he's trying to pull a shifty on that then who know what else he's gonna try and pull. your being taken for a fool and nothing less.
there is no such thing as a factory EF ghia. full stop.
wanna rub it in his face? then get the letter from the compliance plate (for the trans) and i bet it comes back as AUTO. or get him to PROVE to you that its a factory manual. make him get documentation from Ford that it is.
like i said, walk away and dont waste your time on this guy any more.

He might be right. The manual trans was made in a factory, so its a factory manual.
No production line manuals made though. Will be a number of converted ones though.

I own an 1996 EFII Fairmont Ghia, and I assure you there were no manuals available. I have my factory book with the car (for Fairmont and Ghia) and NO manual was listed as available on either of those models, Fairmonts and Ghia's all were AUTO ONLY in EF
