Hey everyone! I've been a creeper on here for years with my previous 2 F Bodies ('91 RS 5.0 TBI & 89 TA 5.0 TPI) and since I just bought another I decided I better sign up! I see the wealth of knowledge and How-Tos has grown a lot since my last visit.
I picked up this '91 RS from a lady who found it in a barn and claimed to be the 3rd owner. Carfax checked out so I didn't hesitate to drop $1200 on it. Has 93,000 original miles and has only recently seen a handful of midwest winters.
She has for the most part been well taken care of. The interior is fairly clean with exception to dash cracks and a couple cigarette burns. Body has very little rust in all the usual places, door skins and rear wheel wells but no significant body rot. Rear end and trans (w/ B&M transpak I'm told) have been rebuilt within the last 5000 miles. Motor could use a tune up as it sat in her driveway all last winter and up until this week when I found her. All in all I've fallen in love with 3rd Gens all over again and can't wait to get crackin'!
Thanks man. I'm glad I came back to a 3rd Gen, the wife not so much haha. My first car was also a '91 RS, had it for a couple months and was totaled by a drunk driver.
Today was great weather so I decided to get in the garage and button up a few things. Oil change, rear end lube and after the test drive discovered a small spot or trans fluid on my driveway.
Got underneath and noticed right away a small drip from where the VSS goes into the tail shaft. Had fun finding an O ring that sealed properly but I got her done. All in a day's work, love this damn car!
