89 and 90 SHO closed

The brothers left on a flat bed last Friday. Don't know what exactly will happen to them but the SHO fever is over at my place.
If I even looked at your SHO, I would also have to shop for a new spouse.
I can't help you out with cash, how about a little free advice.
My 8 year experience has been that only a hand full of Gen 1 collectors are active, but there is a great support network here and lots of vendors. The price for restored a or survivor Gen 1 under $3K. In 2002 I paid $2400 for an 89. 90, and 91. A few forum members have tried or are trying to retrofit that 24v DOHC Yamaha, that we all coveted, into Probes or other fwd cars. All things considered, I got my money's worth of barking the tires shifting into third and that adrenalin RUSH when the secondaries kicked in. Just wish the SHO and I could have shut down a couple of imports in a 100+ qtr. pass at ORielys Drag Strip here in Indy. I would have loved to have experienced the rumored 160 mph top end on a track (no street racing thank you). I had a lot of fun aggressively driving the 90 and then teaching my girls how to drive a stick in the 89. Who would have guessed how much smoke would pour out of clutch plates and nearly bald tires?
I wish you the best of luck selling your 90. My first was a titanium 90 that I bought in 93.
