My dad sold his 79 RX7 to a major RX7 NUT, or at least that is what my mom said. It was gray when he sold her, had a 4 barrel carb, I can't remember much else. I think the guy came all the way from somewhere in Virginia, but I could be wrong. The car was sold out of Pennsville, NJ, probably over 10 years ago

More details and do you have the SA vin number? Did you check the registry?

Eagle Kammback

My dad hasn't been home, I doubt he remembers the VIN. I'll ask him a few more things about the car when he comes home tonight

mikewoodkozar

Otherwise it is a lost cause

Eagle Kammback

It was not in Virginia, it was Williamstown, NJ, and she believes the car had a manual transmission. I didn't get a chance to talk to my dad today.

Have him look at his vehicle records or call his car insurance / bank to get the vin from old records. Then run it in carfax etc to see where last registration / service / crash was.

That's definitely a best-bet. Maybe once the registry grows a little you'll have a reasonable chance of using that as a tool to find the owner, as well.

For what it's worth, nearly all the cars had 4-barrel carbs and 5-speeds. They also came in 3-4 major trim levels, depending on the year, without a lot of unique options otherwise. This basically means that for any given configuration of a car, there were thousands made, of which only a small percentage are on here. It's still worth looking, but you need the VIN.

I'll try to see if I can find anything.
The car had a black interior.

There where 811,634 RX7's produced. So your chances of finding the owner here? Well... do you like to play lottery scrach off??

SA's and FB's where 474,565 produced...

85 FB

Not to mention that not every 7 owner knows about this website.

mikewoodkozar

Amen to that, there are some 7 owners that i am glad are not here

85 FB

.....you do know that wacky IS here, right?

Eagle Kammback

I just Thought I'd give it a try, nothing bad could come of it. I just hope she wasn't wrecked

Vashner

Yea was not picking on you but simply thinking about the numbers involved.

But I bet there are less than 100,000 still road worthy. It would be interesting to know how many are totaled out.

There are ways to find out exactly who owns it.

perhaps but, the count that i have from calendar year 1978 through 1985 of RX-7's sold in the U.S. was 372,210.. his odds just got better

mikewoodkozar

Thats was i was thinking

Eagle Kammback

But from what I've heard, even if the car was hit by a Kenworth he would've fixed her up to keep going
