91 RS convertable V8 5 speed

Just picked this up this weekend from a co-worker! $1,000 Runs good, just needs some TLC to make it daily driver for my gal. I've always been an IROC man myself. Painted the light buckets today (can't stand body colored light buckets, say what you will). Installed a new thermostat (didn't have one), fan won't come on, going to fix that issue first.. Didn't know how much fun a 5-speed convertible was to drive.

Stone

was nice and sunny today, put the top down and went for a ride. Never knew a vert was this much fun.!!

If it's not rusted, you stole that thing. Even if it needs some mechanical work.

Manual trans convertible is the hot ticket. Tell her to avoid smashing it up so you can restore it some day.

Re: 91 RS convertable V8 5 speed

That is a really nice looking car! You cant touch a car like that in AZ (Convertible country) for under 5k! Is the interior as nice as the exterior?

I may be wrong but... I think you release the top at the rear where it attatches to the tonneau, lift it up in the back, then release the tonneau and lift it up. Then release it at the windshield header and fold it back. Put the tonneau down and enjoy the wind! I think thats right... The last time I drove one was back in the late '80's....
