Re: Why 3rd Gens ARE desirable! Current Prices
I have to post just to say how lucky I am to have acquired the 3rd Gen I have. I got it from the "little old lady" across the street. No kidding! It's a red 91 RS with the LHO engine/ manual trans package. All original, 121k miles. I bought it as a "roller" for $600.00!!! New fuel pump, injectors, ignition module & pickup coil.....now she purrs like a kitten. I bought it for my wife, but I'm having second thoughts on that...:P Anyway...there are deals out there. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.

So the bottom line is, one of the primary reasons these cars ARE desirable, is precisely because their prices ARE NOT outrageous like the old muscle cars. That means that those of use who like them can easily afford to buy them, and we can enjoy them for their DRIVING ability without having to worry about "investment".
This kind of car is sharp-looking, handles well, comfortable inside, and easy and cheap to work on. While in stock trim they're woefully underpowered by the standards of other eras including modern cars, that's not all that hard to fix. Their virtues lie in being FUN, not in being museum pieces.

I've got to agree with you, pal. I've had several 2ng generation cars and if you're going to get your money back out of them you can never drive them. God forbid you get caught in the rain or worse! These cars are never going to appreciate (with the exception of the pace cars) so that's exactly why I bought it. I can drive it, mod it for more power and enjoy it. My trailer queens will stay where they are but I'm going to have some fun with this one.
