That's the proper way to do a "Rotary to Ford" swap.

I like the concept and maybe its just me but there are a ton of things I dont like about that car. First, why does it have two radiators? Second, is that the ugliest hot rod trunk style ever made? Third, the engine bay looks like crap for a supposed $70k car. Is that intake elbow even hooked to an air cleaner? Fourth, the RX7 rear is nothing like a Corvette rear other then they are both IRS. Fifth, the interiors sucks, how boring can you get? The bid is at $5k right now, he'll be lucky to get $10k for it. I have a feeling he built it to sell it since its only got 100 miles and he's hopeing for $80k or something silly. He got ripped off if he spent $70k to get that car built.

Where is the turbo? This is supposed to be a hotrod. I want at least 400 ponies!

Great looking car though. Although, the lack of seatbelts is rather scary...
