1st Gen Models (prefer diecast over plastic)

Does anyone know where I can get a good 1st Gen Model? I really prefer a nice diecast over plastic, but...

Thanks!

I work at a hobby shop and have been looking for a model for over a year. No one makes one currently. I found a plastic kit on ebay a fey months ago, but that's it.

Do an internet search. I saw a web page a few days ago that had a TON of info on Rx-7 Models.

Also Mike Ancas, The guy who wrote the Mazda Rx-7 Performance Handbook sells 'em.

links:

http://www.speednation.com/rx7index.htm

Hope this helps.
