It runs Good but has a stumble at idle, It has a Water leak internal.

And it needs paint bad, The clear is all gone from the hood and top of the car.

Looking good, I like the wheels. I recently picked up a silver 85 GSL that's a virtual twin to your's, glass sun roof and all. Let us know if you guys will be headed down to Atlanta in it some time, like to see it in person.

One story on it
https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/maybe-worst-thing-ever-happen-me-7-a-500068/



I think we got it Thanksgiving 04 but I am unsure now. Bought it from a forum member. The Pilot bearing was seazed and makeing the drive train all stick together, We fixed it and have been enjoying it. But we dont get to drive it much, with the water seal problem it is very hard to start when the temps are lower then 60. I have an engine to swap in just got to find time to pull them both and swap. then this engine will get a rebuild and porting.

The red one is not mine, We sold it to a friend and he DD it. Fart tip he did and LE wheels I sold him.


My car is a 79 with Downing ATL Street port engine and Weber 48's I dont drive it much, Cause it is loud and hard to keep under the speed limit.
