well as promised here are some pics.
the original wheels are not with the car, he thought he had them but they are no longet in his posession. the interior is clean as well as all the fluids. the motor under tray is missing and it apears to have a new fuel pump, the car is straight aside from the scar on the driver fender and door. only dislike... i cant get because i have too many whole cars lol.
88k miles and it is a local car from the start. good looking car imo... i mean it has rust but no holes and is in above average for the midwest condition.

no, it was a stingray corvette. he also has a fiat under cover next to it and 2 pretty nice 80's firebirds next to those as well as a huge harley. biggest thing i have ever seen on two wheels. yeah, what all it is missing minus the rims i have so i could put together the car. however... i would never seek it home lol.

Does it come with the tow chains and the tractor for that price? Around here, you would lucky to get $1500 for a car in that shape.

lol, i didnt ask if the tow chains were included. the starter dosent work, he had to dump the clutch to get it to start. 1500 sounds about top dollar for this car. but then again if he puts it n ebay it might go higher. i have seen junk rx7's go for a lot when they are junk. he is currently asking 3000 and when i asked if anyone had shown interest he said no.

you would be suprised at what some would pay for it... i posted a red 85 on here several years ago. it was a base 12a car and it didnt run. it had several places that it was rsted out but once it got put on ebay it went for 2200. not only that but some guy from canada bought it. had it shipped to canada and after replacing all the brakes, gas tank, and he did something to the distributor and carb... he then decided to sell it. as far as i know he was unable. he put it back on ebay and it only made it back up to 1200?? havent seen it since.

yea 3000 sounds way too high, i payed 200 for my SE to my cousin who got it free, running and starting, 40 for a new clutch and 80 for a idler arm and here it is running and driving perfect. not the best shape out side or inside, torn up seats. but after paint, body and seats, maybe a few interior pieces just for extra looks. itll still come out bellow 3000. il have to count up what itll cost me... just for kicks, cuz so far iv got a stereo in there too, with speakers, an S4 manifold waiting to go in with 2nd gen ignition, a RB cat delete pipe im buying next week, its all still going to run me well below 3000.
