    For many of you have learned (unfortunately the hard way), it is really expensive to build a nice RS clone. Yes, there are a bunch of them out there, but most of them are really not that great. This car is a very nice example.

    The key with building a good RS is to start with a great car. This car was originally sold new in Southern California which means that it has lived a rust-free life. This car went through an extensive 2-year restoration and it shows. It is a stunning example and extremely well built. It was taken down to the bare metal and painted its original color in acrylic enamel with hardner. It then went through countless hours of hand color sanding and buffing to bring out its shine. The paint looks great. There are a few rock chips here and there from use, but that’s about it.

    The mechanicals are just as nice as the body. Here are the details:

    Hi Paul,

    It was beautiful and a deal the first time you offered it. I had thought this found a buyer the last time it was posted. Any info we should know?

    Thanks,

    The owner who bought the car was thinking of using the engine on another project and then he would sell the car with another motor. However, he just doesn't have the time to complete the project and he felt that the car was nicer than he expected and not worth removing the engine. So, he had it all of about 6 months and 300 miles. I drove it home today and wow...what a great driving car. Very tight with lots of power!

    I do think it is a bargain.

    Not the owner but I had the pleasure of looking after it, so I was the one who actually put most of the miles on it. And it is a great car. A ton of money has been spent on it.

    Plus you can't beat a 3.6 in a 2400 pound car.
    Cheers,

    Steve
