Honest to god truth??

Bought from a scrap lot for $600. The original owner dropped a new engine it, started to misfire, thought engine was blown (like the last one) and scrapped it. Just needed a tune-up.

I originally offered 2K because I knew the value but they only wanted $600 being the surefire know-it-all mechanics.

And yes I do come from a background with rotaries.

EDIT:

Yes I told them what it needed.

truth, mileage is unknown.

have read the thread.

I owned a 84 rx7 With a 4-port 13b SP w/ side draft mikuni carb. Had full RB suspension. Had a 4pt. roll cage and 6pt. harnesses. Also had RB headers with a full 3" exhaust.

Had OZ racing wheels as well.
