Brother,your point is well taken. I was really looking for a dual purpose car. I talked to 2 well respected mechanics from my area. They both agreed separately that a 17 DE weekends 100,000 motor was tired. Thought it would be wise to refreshen the motor as a precaution.

One of them mentioned the cost effectiveness of replacing the motor with a low mileage 3.6 and place the 3.0 on the side?

The owner has spent a lot of money in chassis setup with the Bilstein sport suspension,brakes,braces, extended torsion bars, B&B stainless exhaust. Safety items,OMP seats, 1/2 cage, harnesses etc. All the proper items for a safe solid handling track car. In addition, tranny rebuild, new aluminum Saks clutch,half shafts etc..

I suppose I really need to see if I want to get into a 1982 SC for a total of approximately $27,000 with freshed engine. Rattlesnak's completely restored RSR clone sold for a great price of 29,000. It really could be a steal and I just don't know it?

Brother, I really appreciate your input. Anyone else have a opinion?

Thanks
