The legendy RS200 will do me.. In need of restoration or not.

I was reading a couple of years ago a showroom fresh example in the states was up for $200,000 !  :D

Although they let a few gems go when they closed the old design studio.The one off Black magic Chevette stood on the flat roof for years until it rotted away afaik.
Iirc Wayne Cherries similar Firenza estate suffered a similar fate,last I heard.
Remaining stock of Blydenstien 2.6 stroker kits for the slant 4 ended up as ballast in the keel of a boat.

They keep using the word 'styling' .. yet I don't think they know what it means.  ;D (Sorry, the 'droop snoot' cars look incredibly ugly, to me!)
