I just thought this was pretty cool. They say its the last NOS 12a.

 

WOW thats Kool!

 

He has had those up several times over the last couple of months, at first he was claiming that they were a rare 135 hp JDM model that came in the RX-7, when I commented on the fact that the only 12a's that made 135 out of the factory were from the early 71-74 era pre polution models he changed his story My Opinion is SCAM, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Is the one on the left the old one and the one on the right the replacement theyre talking about? It doesnt look as good as some Ive seen for being supposedly NOS.

Yah, you guys have a good point, the idea of there possibly being a NOS 12a out there was cool though.

 

OK! then..........................WOW That Sucks

 

The auction states it is from 1972. The 12a's were dual distributor until 1973. Also, like KenChan said they would not have the rats nest colored solenoids.

Good call about those dual dizzys, I knew they existed, I just didnt know what years.

Those look like '79 or '80 model RX-7 motors with California emissions.

 

if those are brand new, why do they each have different oil filters, or rather if they were nos why would they even come with oil flters?

 

New? dont think so...to dirty to be new look at the fan, oil filter and the air filter cover....Looks like BRAND USED to me....look out...

 

Looks to me like a good cleaning and some tape over the carb. I mean but if you can sell your soul on ebay why not a NOS 12a

 

I wouldn't want a "new" 20+ year old motor. You could buy new housings for that much..

 

Total scam, or he has no clue what they are.
Lack of dual distributors is obvious as bwaits said.Also,those older engines had the starters on top of the engine,where all the rats nest stuff is located.
I agree with Moses,they look like CA 80 engines,the EGR valve on the center housing gives them away.

 

I call BullSh**!
This is not the first time they have been on e-bay.

 

The air filter says its an SA, the charcoal canister is built into the air filter lid.
