If i were you... have a local Rotary Head go look at it with you. A car that old is a big gamble... so you need to know as much as possible about it before buying.

good luck.

well the body looks to be in great shape. but he is saying that it is a project car, so be prepared to sink more $$$ into it than your initial purchase price.

Thanks BigO thats the plan.

Mugatu, I dont want to buy that one off ebay. The one I was looking at was in my town.

I called the guy today and he sold it. The buyer is driving around with the sellers phone # on the back window lol
Guess I'll have to keep looking

RX7CLUB.... 1st gen section... read stickies... Looks like a SA (before the updated FB) 1st gen RX7 with a 13B swap isntead of the 12a that it came with. A great project car to start with... extremely light, nimble, can be made very quick with very little money, lots of potential. i wouldnt pay over 1k for it because of the chassis mileage.

Different models came with different brakes. he cant go for a 4 wheel disc brake swap which is easy or a 5 lug 4 disc brake swap. You're just spitting **** out of you mouth and you don't even know it. Slow? yes it may be slow stock (its the ******* 80's what do you expect? take a look at the GSL-SE with the 13B n/a stock... that thing is pretty damn fast for a N/A), but 2-3k bucks and you'll be pulling on most "sport" cars you'll bump into.

You could save yourself a lot of headaches and $$$ if you use that $850 to
upgrade your 8... Say for instance: strakes, fog lights, side aeroflares, etc...
You could get all kinds of cool used stuff here and on ebay..

Why you ask?
I've got a 67 Stingray that I've owned for 21 years. I love it and I hate it...
I've probably spent more money on her then I've paid for my home over the years.
"If" you "must" have one of these old beaters, go into it with a mind-set that its a P.O.S.
That way when you start dropping big bucks into it you won't feel so bad.

Here's a picture of my baby...


Good Luck!
PS: Have you checked at www.rx7club.com ?
I think they have a for sale section over there too..

Don't blow an apex seal there Sparky, my comments were made in gest. Also, the last time 16 second 1/4 miles with traps in the mid 80s were "pretty damn fast" you weren't alive.

Well I'm in Las Vegas NV and I have $1k to drop on a side car so I was looking for a 280 datsun 240sx 300zx supra or 7. I'll even take one with no engine.

EyeBall Fixer...(o)(x), thanks for the heads up info.

LOL thanks IKE
