"when you need the fire of Zeus, you just put your foot in it all the way, hold it there to its 6500-rpm redline, and you can suck the doors off anything not specifically built for setting drag strips on fire. (Moreover, it has as much punch at 60 as it does at 30.)"
StealthTL, what is it worth, sir??

That's definitely an interesting item for a rotorhead.
Since you found it in a barn don't think too much about how much it is worth, focus on what you can afford to spend on it after thoroughly inspecting the car.
Put it on a lift, check for rust, collisions, suspension wear etc. Make an estimate of what the repairs will cost and then make your offer. If they like it, get it. If they don't... leave them your business card and tell them to contact you if they change their mind.

Yep, it's all based on overall condition - rust is the great destroyer in those models.
If the body is good then it's just a parts swap exercise.
My RX-3 had a 12B and would destroy Camaros from a light, an RX-2 with the 13B would be a monster....
