Got that right!!!!

I was driving an 83 GSL back in the college day. After owning a talon-TSi and a RAM1500, I had to go back... just bought an 85 GSL-SE for $850. Not pretty, but the engine is good! Best bang for the buck ever!

Then i bring it home, and my wife says " Ooh! That ones mine." Someday I'll get me one.

Careful with that parts car.I put a carb and crank angle sensor in my parts car, and it's the fastest one I got. I took it to the track, and let my wife race it all night. Everybody, including me, got beat by a girl!

I know where we can pick up 2 more to add to the 6 we already have but we have to get rid of some of the other cars first (of course only the ones that aren't 7's)to make room.LOL

I got five of the dang things. they just keep appearing. Started with the '79 GS, biought the ratty GSL-SE, then got a beautiful body, no engine SE from the same guy. Acquired an '82 automatic parts car and an '84 GSL that only runs on one rotor along the way. The only one that runs, of course, is the '79... :P

I have one and a half RX-7s. An '83LE (daily driver), and a shell to an '85GS that got parted out. I'll be selling the '83LE sometime in the near future, I'm just fixing her up so she's pretty close to perfect condition, then she's goin bye bye. Its been fun, but I'm getting out of the RX-7 scene for a while.

My collection so far is a 1879 Savanna Rx-7 Ltd, a 1980 323 5-door hatch and a 1989 Kawasaki ZXR 250.

I think I'd still have room somewhere for another sev.

Always room for more. Gotta take out some fence and turn the yard into a parking lot (rx7 graveyard).

Owned 4 FC's and 1 SA in one year. When I start working on my SA, I'm probably going to get really into it and buy some more.
