$500 or less unless interior is immaculate & all else is original, which with a 3in exhaust is unlikely.

If you really want to sell it you should follow the rules (https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-rx-7-1979-1985-vehicles-109/guys-make-easy-yourselves-how-get-your-fs-wtt-thread-approved%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A-896006/) and start a FS thread in the 1st gen FS classified forum instead of here.

Put up pictures of the rear wheel wells, under the bins, and where the suspension pickup points are. I'm down in Ann Arbor, and may swing up and take it off your hands.

a 3" exhaust tells me that some inexperienced person put an oversided exhaust on the car and drove it like they stole it until the engine puked an apex seal and probably destroyed a rotor housing.

being stored for 11 years is terrible for a car and to get it out of storage and mod it without maintaining it means certain trouble. i fear the worst for the rest of the drivetrain.

now, back on track for the possible value of the car or i will close the thread and you can start a for sale thread in the appropriate section.
