Well, it's an interesting example, but I prefer the stock FB, much prettier.

There are a few threads about Pacific Advartar's on the forum site already. As suggested, do a search to find out more. They are rare and were pretty pricy when new. Unfortunately, today most of the ones left have fell into neglect and disrepair. These cars would be projects not for the faint of heart or wallet.

.... ummmm...... its rare sure.... but in no way does that look anywhere near as good as a stock 1st gen. Sorry the convertable plus body kit just make the car look like alittle goofey.

I see that it's a FB, but the hood and color scheme make me think Trans Am

MAYBE for half that price. Does not look well maintained, and with dry-rot, needing new top, I bet new tires (horrible offset on the wheels, though I also love the Weds, at least use some spacers with the widebody!)

the Pacific Avatar is a rare bird indeed. its a love it or hate it design. many of those cmae with turbocharged 12A's and those are the ones that are highly sought after. more so than your basic 12A variant anyways. i prefer original and unmodified, but the Avatar's have a their place in RX-7 history as well. not for me personally.

Oh, that car again... At least the third time in the last five years it's been brought up here. I'm thinking it'll be for sale for a good long time at that price.
