Check out this cherry 1979 Rx7!
 
I almost decided to buy it but times are tough right now. Figured someone here must have seen it, given how mint it looks.

Definitely not mine, I had a 1985 once, it was not even close to this nice.

dreamingofRX7 12-22-08 08:41 PM

I really should go buy it.. But the weather hasnt looked like that in a long time. Who knows how old those pics are.

I'm emailed him on it.. I see a car that cherry maybe once every 2 years..

that really is a beautiful car!!! i like the solid black interior rather than the two tone that i see on so many 79's.

woodonastick 12-22-08 09:36 PM

*drool*...i hate being a broke ass college student.

That is a prime example of a SA. Very freakin nice. Truly worth keeping all original.

rotary84 12-23-08 01:17 AM

yup saw this on craigslist also and couldnt believe how clean it was

ourxseven 12-23-08 07:10 AM

That is the best interior for sure .

t_g_farrell 12-23-08 08:10 AM

As a fan of SAs, I think that one is worth the price. The only downside I could see is the modern stereo thats been installed with the wiring pouring out the passenger side of the console. The rest of it is priceless.

DivinDriver 12-23-08 10:53 AM

The engine bay wiring is not all original - - somebody's been hacking away in there. & what's with the tape on the shock tower, do you suppose?

Aftermarket speakers have been cut into the original door panels, too


Beautiful condition, no doubt... but not "all original."

t_g_farrell 12-23-08 11:23 AM

The tach on an SA normally is a volt meter when the ignition switch is in the on (not start) position. His is showing its right at ~12 volts I think. Its not revving that high :)

Ahhhh got ya..thanks for the info...ive never been in an SA...so i did not know...MAn i want that car!!!

dreamingofRX7 12-23-08 04:53 PM

i emailed yesterday and never heard back. i suppose i could call if really wanted to look at it. if its even still available. But i wasnt gonna offer 4800... i'd pay $4000 immediately for something like that, but more.. i'd have to think long and hard.

dreamingofRX7 12-23-08 04:54 PM

i would rip out all that stereo real quick. prob try and find an oem but i bet the harness is all hacked by now.

dreamingofRX7 12-23-08 04:57 PM

Called him, I'm going to look NOW.

Directfreak 12-23-08 05:03 PM

I am pretty sure that is the Factory "Premium" sound system in 79.
Not sure of the door speakers though.

I think the premium stereo in 79 was a Clarion analog tuner radio with a Clarion tape deck in the lower compartment.

Speakers were placed in the kick panels and rear, never the doors.

The stereo in this car has a digital display and I don't think that an equalizer was offered until much later ('84?)
