Only downside I see is that it has that funky setup with the horn button on the column instead of the steering wheel. Otherwise, VERY nice for $1,000. Looks like it's all pretty well intact.

nice find cant wait to see a burnout vid lol what are your plans for this one i know you got another project but when thats done you must have some build plans

Only plans as of right now are to keep it visually as original as possible exterior and interior wise. As for the motor, once I am done putting my 87 back on the road, I may take the old 87 motor do a mild refresh on it and put it in the RS with the original 87 speed density set up.

Yeah I'm not really fond of that horn set up myself, but the cars cruise control is still there so I am going to try and hook it back up and get it working. If not then I might look for the sportier looking 4 spoke wheel that is correct for this year. I do have an older black 3 spoke sport wheel that was used in the non-cruise control 79 - 81 Cobras, 79 Pacecar. Not sure if it will fit the 83 column though.
