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.

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..

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.

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."

beautiful car!! but i do have a question about this pic...Look at the tac.... all the dummy lights are on. Now look at the rpms...its at 4K. Why would the car be at revving at 4k with all the dummy lights on?!?! something tells me that is not a good sign......Usually when all the ligths are on when the car has just died or its about to be turned on...but my tach is usually not at 4k?!?!?1 what gives....even when i turn it on with the choke...yes it revs high but my dummy lights are not on

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

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.

[QUOTE=Directfreak;8821209]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?)
