Old school race car?

K I have a feeling this has been posted before because it looks vaguely familiar.

Does anyone have more info on it? These pics are from SSX, its Mazdas car.

Info on body kit? I am assuming its completely custom. Look at the massive tail!!

Or anyone have pics of it in action?

Thats what i was wondering. Cheers.

EDIT: Idno, looking at the 79 IMSA GTU thread there a differences. Couple pictures of it look very similar and some difference.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hlight=79+IMSA

Doesnt look like it had the rivet holes, were these just filled in on the race ones and not on the SSX car?

And the front air dam looks completely different to me, maybe im just missing something.

Another EDIT: Yorino, Katayama, Terada (names above the door) competed in 79 in the GTU class. Weird becuase there are alot of visual differences. Oh well...

Mmmmmm love that car, just wish it had bigger rims. Looks goofy especially in the rear (first picture) as is.

Is it for SURE the 79 IMSA? Because from I've found in various threads, the IMSA was a true widebody and not just fender flares and a flatter front end vs the angle forward tucked back look.
