lets hope he can get sell the car at a reasonable price. 39K is a little rdiculous. however, i still believe that something is only worth what someone else will pay for it(monatarily speaking of course).

Hopefully thats a misprint. $3,995 would be better.

That has to be a misprint of some sort.


Oh ya hi guys its been a while.

I noticed that ad in Hemmings myself. I'd bet it's not a misprint; if the guy invested in an ad in that publication, he's probably serious. Maybe he figures if a 10AE with 6700 miles is worth $29,500, his rare yellow first year '79 is worth about $10,000 more.

These kind of crackpot RX-7 listings are becoming much more common. I wonder if anybody is actually paying anywhere close to these asking prices for any of these super-low mileage cars??

I have kgray's yellow SA sitting in my driveway waiting for work, wonder if he'd notice if I sold it for say 20k, lol.

kgray

Well, ****. as long as you're paying... Its a good thing to know that spark yellow is, indeed, rare. Although, he doesnt even have the rare almex wheels. Trochoid, you better be asking like 45-50K

dang thats crazy. i tried calling just out of curiosity on a little bit of the cars history, but no pick up, and the mail box is full. All I'm gonna say is, spark yellow, for the win.

if there was only 347 spark yellow cars made in 79 then one of them is missing a sunroof. the sunroof for my silver 79 apparently came off a spark yellow car and was painted to match the silver car.

I've been waiting for over 20 years for the value of the 1st gen's to go back up.

Dang it! It's about time!

BTW, 7aull, are we supposed to be praying for this guy to actually get $40,000 for the car, or are we praying for his sanity?

man , i would hate to see how much parts cars are going to go up !

7aull

iTrader: (2)

I'm praying he gets his PRICE!
We can all laugh, but Back in the Day (mid 70s) when R100s were all over selling for $50 (dead, of course), who would have thought they would be worth $3-5K??? And decent runners:
$10K+??
...and I sold my nicely restored one with new 10a for $400 in '85
;p
Won't make the same mistake twice. This guy has the right idea, just about 15 yrs too soon IMHO

i agree . they are going up , but not that fast . some people want 10K allreagy for theirs.
look at the good side , when they do go up, we wount have to feel as bad about buying a new part over trying to find one used . lol
