1980 RX-7 on CL Stockton,CA

A little cross-pollination here.This was posted on the repu list.It seems modified on the rear end,and should be a good deal to the right person.

Modified rear end? Lools like an SA with the center garnish. 300 is a hell of a deal for what shows in the pics.

Center garnish yes,but the indent above the center section looks to be colored like the body.Is the garnish usually body colored above that line?Maybe it is just a bad pic,and I am seeing things.

Ummm.......cant...... resist......... temptation.......

I think the top piece was just molded in and painted. And on Richs car i belive he has the Euro-spec brake lens. I like Love how Rich's car looks but for $300 thats a steal. Thanks for posting that Chris

i looked at the SA today and took some pics. the guy said it starts but he can't get it to run without giving it gas. he replaced the carb and he thinks the timing is off, and the center console has been taken out. he still has the center console for it. here are some pics

and the last of the pics

sorry about some of the bad angles in the pics.

as you can see there is a little body damage but nothing major. some body damage around the keyhole in the hatch area, and a ding in the pass rear fender as well as a small ding up front by the headlight on the pass side and the carpet could probably be replaced as there are some thin spots on the drivers side. i didnt really see any rust on it. One of the rear defroster cables on the hatch glass is hanging and i forgot to ask if it had the drivers side window problem, but all in all the car looks ok for $300.

my vote...buy it if you have a little bit of time and TLC to give to it.

Where the hell did all of these stockton people come from???

I saw that ad last week, posted it in the West section. Please tell me someone from here got it, since the ad's been deleted. Nice little car for the price, if I had the place I'd have gotten it myself.
