So, after thinking about this for a while, and looking at some old pics i want another one. I had one a while ago and loved the car, and now that i know a little bit more, i want to play around with one again.

I would prefer an rd2 (00-01) but if i can get an rd1 for cheap, id take it.  
I also dont really care if its just a shell, or has some body damage - as long as its not completely gone/rusted out. I would also like it if it was a 5 speed. Id rather not have to swap if i dont have to.

Let me know what you got or if you know where i can grab one.

Yes, another Tib fan. I just picked up my 2nd RD1, needs some work but got it for only $300. Check out [www.rdtiburon.com](http://www.rdtiburon.com) there are a few for sale on there, I think Viper’s turbo tib is still for sale, still one of the fastest RD’s in the states.

Im a member on rdtib from my first one, and ive been watching on there and contacting a few people. theres one im thinking about its just a little farther away than i wanted. And as much as i would love to have vipers old car, i kind of want to do this one myself…but if its a decent price i might have to think about it…

I’ve emailed the person with the first one you linked to and waiting on a reply back, the second one though i didnt see (ive never seen it spelled ‘timberon’) but i just sent him an email, Thanks.

edit: after looking on craigslist, i might look at picking up a gk tib, but only the 4 cyl w/ the betaII engine if anyone knows of one for sale.

^^Right by the 400?? If it is I stopped by there a little while back and took a quick look at it. Not in too bad of shape from what I could tell. The rocker panel in front of the rear wheels is a bit rusted out, just like both my other ones. A little welding under the side skirt would fix it pretty easily.

lol, is your car for sale?

btw, did you ever get those strut tower bars made from that group buy you had going on rdtib a while ago? i may need one lol

i miss the car so much. i dont care that you cant make it as quick as [insert faster car here] but i knew the car inside and out, plus it was my first car so…im really looking for another one.

And i think it is the one by the 400. I had him send me pics of the damage. wasnt as bad as i thought, but still not ‘perfect’…we’ll see.
