WA 83 RX with a Back Seat

I have a 1983 RX with a back seat. It is in good condition for the year. Just had the motor rebuilt and just down to the last pieces to finish it...radiator and carb. The guy doing the work on the car wants to buy it so bad! In your opinions are the cars with the back seats hard to find and should I keep it??? Have had nothing but trouble keeping it running and kinda frustrated is what prompted thought of selling it. Plus in my area no one works on rotaries!

The rear seat is an extremely rare option if it is original and matches the front seats. We can help you fix the car and keep it running well for years to come. Once these cars are running properly, they're amazing and they usually stay running very well for a long time. Be patient with the car and if you need advice on how to fix it or where to look for an issue feel free to post your questions or concerns.

The NW US is a rotary haven. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding folks to work on it. You should post in the NW section and ask around.

I really want to see pics of this setup! It's so hard to find a matching set, almost impossible.
