Picked up a rhd RX-7 Check it out!
 
I literally picked it up. I was sitting at a restaurant eating and on the window sill I noticed someone left their matchbox behind. Upon further review it is an RX-7. Wow what are the chances of that huh? It's pretty beat up. I had my nephew install new wheels on it because the stock wheels were horrible. I think I will fix it up just for the heck. It has a broken windshield and the paint is peeling.

I'm still tripping on the fact that I found a 1st gen matchbox RX-7. LOL Seriously what are the chances. Life is a trip.

Its good to see that there are people out there, just as crazy as me. This last week i have seen rx7 shaped cakes, rotor shaped lamps, and my own newly obtained rotor shaped ashtrays, wich i "found" at a restaurant...!

ahh, you should of seen the original ones. They do look to big huh?

Damn, can't get a break here for nothing. LOL

To think a kid was actually playing with it, his name is written on the roof. A future 1st gen kid who is probably crying cause he lost his 1st gen. It's kind of amazing with all the cool cars out there, this kid took his Mazda out to eat. Kinda cool I think.

kim, if you wanna repaint it, i used to paint toy cars when i was younger (too broke to buy models, but had over 300 hot wheels)

nail polish remover will take the paint off. once the major parts are off, a toothpick gets out the paint from the cracks well. then get some testors paint and some thinner. thin some of the paint out a little till it goes on nice and thin. if you dont like it, more nail polish ;)
