Low mileage 79 on Craigslist

Wow. Nice find Cam. Priced low for the mileage I think (based on others like this I have seen FS), so someone will get a nice, newish RX7. Of course, the tall dollar is on the mileage (and to be fair, its condition), so the value drops as the mileage goes up. That difference will correct itself over time tho as these cars are on the rise in value if the new owner is careful. BUT what a great car to start with - and for many, the 79-only Spark Yellow is a very desirable color. The graphics on her are dealer-original to the showroom and while maybe an acquired taste, def fit the late 70's vib. Black square on hood is a bit goofy but reversible. Goldie waffles are a 1980 SA affect so that is an owner-update, but no foul on a yellow car really, and they are "SA-original" so I dig them! (bias! I have these on my SA too...)
And a dry-for-life New Mexico home? So minimizes rust issues too.

A New Mexico car with NO AC? No wonder the miles are low!
Shame he cut the dash for a "new" stereo when it's being driven so rarely. Maybe it was cut long ago and the stereo was just changed out recently? Mounting looks questionable - faceplate is crooked like the rear of the stereo is drooping.
There's some kind of mod been made in the otherwise-stock-looking engine compartment - large canister-shaped addition below and in front of wind-shield-washer bottle, looks almost like it's holding an oil can?
Aftermarket fog lights, look to be pretty old-school.
I love the 70's vibe of the car & graphics. An uncracked 79 dash, too.
Bra could be hiding significant issues.
Price is not out of line with condition as can be seen in the pix, though it'd be easier to justify without the foolish stereo mod.
