well you can part it out ebay style and make 5 times what you payed for it if you cant save it. scraping the body for salvage steel should net at least 200

Here are the picture you guys requested. Had to resize them. Can anyone tell me if they think this is the original color? Paint code is U2.

Its not perfect but I jewed the guy down to $125. So cant be to picky at that price =) plus its my first SA.

Does she run and drive? U2 is a blue. The best way is to look and compare the exterior to places under the hood or carpet. Mazda Dave recently mentioned somewhere on the dash, like behind an endcap or something. The wheels are from an 81 or later, looks decent overall. Any engine bay shots? We like to peek under the skirt.

There is no engine in the car. It was pulled out. So in the deal my and 2 friends got 3 rx7s (2 1985 and 1 1980) 4 engines, 4 sets of rims and tries, all for $375. My brother in law 2 early rotarys so i will have a motor in soon i hope.

Under the carpet, hood the paint all matches. I was just surprised that paint wasnt it horrible shape for being 30 years old. I will get some engine bay shots if you want them.

The mileage reads 30,xxx so i dont know if its 130 or 230. but for the condition i would geuss 130.

Damn. Looks like a clean, straight, rust free body! Sure as hell can't beat that for 125!

Why can't I find deals like that?

And I thought I got a good deal when I got mine for $300. I guess the extra $175 was for a motor that ran for a week. lol.
