My new 83 LE

Yesterday I won a 83 Limited Edition on eBay, its a road trip to go get her but its worth it.

I have been after a clean LE for some time.

The owner has 10 years of receipts including, new paint 2 years ago, 2000 new/rebuilt Mazdatech engine, Eibach springs, Tokico blue shocks, all new tie rods and ball joints, new rotors and pads, re-trimmed interior, rebuilt Nikki carb.

Now to work out when to pick it up, he was cool with working with me on pick up also...I'm stoked.

This one will stay rotary for anyone concerned...lol

Are you driving it home or towing it? btw that limited edition badge right above the tail lights isn't stock, not that it matters

Damn you got that for a steal. Utah isn't that bad of a drive from Ohio. I drove from Maryland to Idaho and back. You'll enjoy the nice smooth highway travel. Your *** probably will hurt though LOL
