This is probably the MOST EXCITED i've ever been in my life!!!

OK. Today i was going to a local restaurant for lunch with my cousin and Uncle. I was riding in the backseat of their little Mazda. (Not sure what type...old though) I was looking at all the lovely desert we have here in Vegas and my cousin says, "What's that?" as if he was referring to a car. My Uncle says almost immediately 240Z. I crane my head back to see the most beautiful RX7 i've ever seen.

It was not only a RX7 i found out after work...but a Pacific Avatar 79' WIDEBODY version. =] Came from the factory with the widebody and louvers. Removable sunroof as well. =]]

And you know what the best part about it is? It had a FOR SALE sign in the window.

This will make many mad or others excited as i am...the price they are asking for a MINT condition, 41,xxx miles on engine and chassis, Brand New tires on Epsilon rims, full back louvers, A/C equipped, NO STEERING PLAY, RECARO seats, and all around the best car i've ever seen and driven was 2500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's it!



I think i'm the happiest ROTARY HEAD in existance right now!

41,xxx miles!!! OMG hahaha damm i'm so hyped up. Sorry if i annoyed anyone with my repeated info. =P

Eric

Wasn't the Pacific Avatar a convertible version? If it has a removable sunroof then would that not make it a hard top? Either way, any 7 with only 40K on the odo is worth way more than 2500. Good luck.

Hmmm that's what io thought as well. I thought the pacific avatars only had convertible tops?

Well...maybe he misinformed me seeing as he knows nothing about roataries. I know though for a fact that the body is from the factory...no bondo or body work is done as you would see in a body kit job...pure metal. But it does have the Pacifica body on it. VERY wide. Huge wheels. =]

Yeah i actually have followed that thread all the way until he has to sell it unfortunately. And no that's not what it looks like. It has a hard top...but it has a pacifica wide body. NON MOLDED. The wing on it is, as indicated by the small cracks where it meets the body, but otherwise it's all from factory. I have a wierd suspicion that it's wider inside as well...MUCH more room inside than my 81...

I'm still not sure if its a true pacifica or not .. you would be best off showing pictures of it to let you know wether its real or not.

Did you actually buy this thing or are you just fantasizing about buying it?

*Looks at Ray Green* What?

I wil be purchasing this either tommorrow after i get some pics up or before the end of the week. the seller is leaving for New Jersey soon so it has to be gone before he leaves. 2500 is a steal...and i'm going to jump on it...before someone else does *Looks around*

My plans for it wil be to fix the right pitman arm bushing (replace)
I'm thinking of putting a TII in it as well. The 12A Tranny would work with a TII correct? Or is that only the SE?

If not a TII i will do a blow through setup with minimum boost. 5 or 6 Psi. Street port as well. =]

Yeah when i first saw it i thought it would have a holley blow through like the vert pacific avatar but to my dismay i looked and it wasd a regular 12A non turbo. =[ Sooo i plan on a swap in the near future most definately.

Pictures coming soon! Leaving for work now and getting pics afterwards.

Are you sure about the 41k? The early 7s don't have the 100,000 marker on the odo, so it could be 41k, 141k, 241k, etc. At any rate, it sounds like a good deal. I'd be interested in seeing pics of it too.
