Here's a better deal, right here in the US, and Kevin, the owner, gives the OGTA discount.

The form isn't as pure as the JDM in J9's post, but it's in better shape and it's very affordable:

He must have sold it already. At $2500.00 it was going to move fast for sure.

Would almost have been worth buying just for the fun of driving it back to Cali.

According to Kermie, true-dat!
But, yah, in all its JDM glory the Mach Green is actually kinda cool. Gawd-knows it was the go-to color in virtually _all_ of the Mazda's introductory literature and press releases for the then-new RX7. And after one year: gone.
It was just THIS particular one that was sad...

I think that for some, these are the Holy Grail SA's. I know it's tops on my list. Restoring one would come from the heart not the head. As Jay Leno says: "more money than brains" It wouldn't be kinda cool, it'd be way cool to pull up in a nice minty Mach Green machine.

The only good things about that Mach Green SA are the color and the clean body. The auto trans, destroyed interior, the corrosion on the wheels, and the price kill the car for me. Personally I'd rather buy a clean SA here, strip it, and do a complete repaint in Mach Green and restore the rest of the car. Wouldn't be correct to the car or original, but it would look amazing and be a fun build!
