Looking for a third gen?

I have been looking for another third gen. The last one I picked up was an 85 Iroc (near mint) but I had to fly to Baltimore MD and drive her home. It was fun but it kinda sucked, I got the car for $850 so it made the trip a little more fun. Well anyway what do you have, where do you live, and will it make the drive to Santa Fe, NM?
Thanks
Lawrence

Hey Big L,
What are you looking for....? A daily driver.... a weekend warrior...or?
I am flirting with selling my 1988 RS with only 94,000 original miles. I was looking for a good start for a V8 swap, so I was very picky to find a 2.8 powered car with 700R4. This way I was assured that the chassis was not subject to a lot of twisting forces that you might see in a V8 powered car, particularly one that has been engine modded. Turns out the thing is among the rarest 3rd gens around with only about 7400 made! Who da figured?! The thing gets 21 city/31 highway miles as is very clean and I have a bunch of chassis mods for great handling. If interested, let me know. I'm considering selling because I would like to have an S-10 or 80's El Camino so I can go propane. I need that bed space to mount a propane tank.

Sounds great but there were only 7,038 RS models made in 88
