Question Does Anyone know this 1st Gen?

Hello Everyone,
I'm in the market for a 1st Gen RX-7, preferably a GSL-SE. I've already spoken to a few of you on the forum regarding your cars for sale. I was wondering if anyone knows who owns this car or is familiar with this car (the car is out of Scottsdale, AZ).



Here is a link to the car for sale on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1859289522

Feel free to post your comments regarding the car (and yes a paint job would be the first thing on the list of projects).

Thanks!
-Mike

Looks like an 84 GSL with all the goodies.


It has all the go-fast goodies on it already, and it appears to have been done with great taste (except the flames).

Considering all the upgrades, rims, engine swap, suspension, and all other modifications recently done..



I'd have to say this car is an awesome deal.

If they = Mazda, then "never".

It would be a trick to try to put one on a 13B, actually, since the oil inlet pipe would be 20mm too short. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make a custom oil line just to downgrade their car...



edit: Thought of a low-trouble way of doing it... involves a 12A oil pipe, a hacksaw, a ball peen hammer, some high-temp silicone hose like what's used for A.I.R. tube connections, and a handful of hose clamps.

That was one sweet car before they put rice on it.
Like those stupid clear lenses on, still haven't figured out why one would want to? Stock looks good and draws less rice attention, but thats just my opinion. Same goes for the flames, my opinion.

That's a pretty sweet car. The only thing I would change right away is the pink oil dipstick thing. WTF? I kinda like the flames too.

Engine bay is a little too cluttered too. Needs an e-fan and battery relocation.
