Re: just saved this 91 RS 305 from the woods

Nice save. Looks like it'll need all the mechanical gone through, some interior and body work. Really nice find though. A good cleaning will make a huge difference.

Re: just saved this 91 RS 305 from the woods

Looks like a nice score, alot of work, but still nice. Funny how some cars can look just fine and the unside is gone and you see soemthing like this and it's fine under there. Overall the body does not look all that bad really.

Nice save. Looks like it used to be a really nice car. Great colors/option combo IMO. Lots of potential here.

I love to see one saved. Even if it doesn't look beautiful for a while, at least it is not under pine straw anymore! Good luck getting it running.

Re: just saved this 91 RS 305 from the woods

Nice save. Same price I payed for mine.
Say the "87" Iroc-Z with 5.7 only came with a 700r4. Id check the numbers back below the break booster down on the block before putting it in.

Re: just saved this 91 RS 305 from the woods

tazz, how does your back seat look? I've got the upper and one lower that I am getting ready to throw away that I believe are the same pattern. They're not perfect but not horrible either.
