Default 2nd Gen Desert Find.....

Out showing some custom homes yesterday and I walk into the backyard and what looks to be a fairly clean 2nd gen less the engine. I don't know what year and I haven't approached the owner. My guess is the husband died and it's a widow in a huge custom home ready to liquidate. I'm going to approach her and attemp to purchase the car if the price is right. Which leads me to my next question. What's the right price for a good 2nd gen roller? I'll flip it since I don't need another leach. Car looks pretty damn nice from my brief inspection.

70-73 RS, not sure exact year. Definitely a cool car at the right price.

After looking on Flea Bay it's not that valuable. I'll buy it if she's willing to let it go cheap. Maybe a real race car....

Todd as soon as you start really looking at the second gen and see what you could have I bet you will throw rocks at your 1st. gen.Keep it, build it and go after Finch and Rupp.
