I just recently acquired an 89 rs convertible with the 5.0 engine. I know that only 3245 rs convertibles were built in 89. Does anybody know how many were built with the 5.0 engine? Also, I took it to a body shop to see about getting the hood painted and fixing some very minor rust on the front fender wells. The body shop owner (very big into classic cars) siad he wouldn't touch it due to rare car. Other than the aforementioned rust the car is in great shape with 87K original miles. I am only the second owner of the car. Does anyone know what this car might be worth? I got it as part of a trade for my wife's minivan, but now don't want to mess it up with an average body shop paint job if it really is a rare car.

Thanks in advance for any input.
