When I bought my 68 rs back in 1988 it had a fresh build on the original 327 and the factory 4 speed and original rear end were still in it. The body was a solid 7 on a 1-10 scale. It had the original interior as well but needed to be re done. I paid 2200.00 for it. I thought I got a good deal at the time.
The 1970 rs I have now came to me in bare metal, blown non original engine, blown non original auto trans, had been sitting for about 6 years before media blasting so all rubber, hoses, grommets, bushings....it's all shot. The interior is also pretty well toast.
I paid 4500.00 for it. I think it was a fair price. It did come with every bit of original sheet metal and exterior trim. Also came with new aftermarket fenders, hood, rear quarters, rear tail light panel, trunk lid and a new 3 pc spoiler. The only body panels that need to be changed are the fenders.
So the second gens are going up in value. I got in before it went nuts like the first gens. There was no way I could afford the entry fee to play with a 67-69 in as good of shape as my 70.
I'm glad I got it when I did.
