My buddy won the lotto!
My buddy is a UPS driver and durning one of his stops saw an FB sitting on the lawn and asked if it was for sale. The owner said get it off my lawn before the weekend is over and you can have it for free... It had sat for at least 5 years that we know of.
2 hours with a power washer and this is damn near perfect!

Before I even saw it, he described it to me and I offered him $1,000 for it. He shot me down. I upped it to $1,500 and was rejected. It came without a title, since I own a dealership I can help him get ABA papers to register it, it just has to sit on my lot for 90 days. I told him if he doesn't act right I'll just screw him over and ABA it to myself. (If only he wasn't my best friend, I'd have an awesome FB.)
A few stress cracks where the wing was molded into the rear quarter, a some rust spots on the front wiper cowl, but other that that mint.
There's compression and spark, but the carbs are no where to be found. We got it to crank over but not fire... This idiot wants to LS swap it. I FORBID him, since I'm helping him get a title. I flat out said if you're swapping a motor, than use one of my old non-turbo 13B's laying around.

Sweet ride either way, the v8/wankel battle will never end I'm sure....I guess it depends if you want a silly fun car even when it gets cold out😁 I've had both, just prefer v8's. I don't want to jack his thread....the best part about his car is that he gets to do whatever he wants to it. Nice find, congrats!👍🏼

9/10 "V8 swap" rx7 builds are never even finished and just end up a cobbled together mess of parts and a butchered shell.
Theres few enough of these cars at 30 years old driving around anyways. Lets not take one with such potential and turn it into an "unfinished product".

You would agree though that this car is special right? Lets not swap out the truly unique part of the car that makes it special. If you want a v8 car, buy a camaro.

I do NOT want this car to end up in a junkyard, but (I own 30% of the shop, my boss (my pops) wants to close the storage lot where it's sitting) if I can't find a place (cheap) to store it, it just might. I'll be pissed that I have to sell it, but at least I know it will go to a good home.
