except for the sun, the bay area is the best place in the world to have a car. i bet you could wash the bottom of that car and all the bolts on the bottom would still be gold

Don't know about the whole bolts still being gold thing. I mean we still get some salty air from the bay, but for the most part cars stay in pretty good condition out in here in California if they are taken care of.

Yes, this would be a good oppurtunity to invest in a rare model rex.

TWO questionable engines??? And a dash cover seems to suggest a bit too much time in the sun...
I smell money pit.... Makes Dave's Gold LS a STEAL by comparison. And of course the usual crappy Craigs photos don't tell much of a story other than the car was at least washed.

Buyer will want Boots On The Ground before committing to....what??

well we do have plenty of sun here, you should see my FC.

the engine part i liked though, 2 engines means you probably end up with 1 good rotor housing.... and besides in CA they almost ALL leak from the dowel pin. i think i've only had 1 12a's that didn't (out of 6-7), which is that nice red SA you saw @ sevenstock

Seats are not original, are they? All US 80's had one-piece high-backs, IIRC; three different styles (vinyl, plaid cloth, leather for the Xth anni) but none with separate headrests.

Look to be FB seats.

Thinking more on this, I remember seeing leather-only seating repair pieces in the 80 fiche that would work for a separate-headrest seat design, specifically for the Xth anniversary cars.

No seat details, though - just the skins, and the leather was specified as having to come from the US.

Maybe the Xth Anni leather seats were another port-installed item, for tariff reasons?

Completely not sure on that one.

actually maybe you're right, are the seats red and the rear interior black?

i was parked next to a 10AE at svenstock in 07, i thought those were the seats it had, but i could be wrong....

yep - these are the stock seats for the Anniv XX - actually, JDM Limited RX7s came with the separate-headrest style from the get-go, tho a different cloth pattern, then leather a la US LS
