'79 RX-7 again...
how much would a '79 be worth with leaky side seals? how much would a new rebuild on a 12A...streetported and all and just a stock rebuild? i am very interested in the one in town..i could offer him $800 because of the motor but i don't know how long the engine would hold up...is $800 undershooting it or what? It doesn't have any mods, stock,135k miles (on a '79 thats damn good), its got a brand new paint job (metallic blue, its beautiful) let me know guys...i need info on this car.

I paid less for mine and the motor has 15k on the rebuild and the paint is great other than 2 holes in the top of the rear drivers fender. but if you like and have the cash for a rebuild ( a good one ) buy it

Oh, and I just dug this up... I called these guys when I thought the 89 TII engine was bad, and they gave me a pretty good price (with core, o'course)...

Talk to Carlos "the rotary guy". He owns many rotary cars, and was generally helpful when I talked with him. They should be able to let you know what you're getting into better than I can. Oh, and the ~$2k from above is for a stock TII rebuild (read: more expensive than a simple 12A job).
Give 'em a call... or I will

Well the kid got the rebuild out of callifornia some import rebuild place it was cheap but had new apex seal ran him like 1200 and i have added msd, header, exhuast, new tires, bass system, electric fan, and pulled the rear end straight. He crubed so hard he bent the back bars to the rear end ouch. but me and the blue wrench fixed it.

that would suck
Don't even think about it Brandon. I doubt I will get it but ya never know. Gotta talk to the guy and see if he will take 800 for it. He's asking $2700, YEAH RIGHT! No way in hell.
