Well, I had one that was all rusted to hell that I scrapped last fall, so theres one down, and in the ~3 years I've been a fb'er I've seen at least half a dozen shitty ones on ebay being sold as nothing more than parts cars. The wheels are really the only thing that you would want it for. The paint color, chateau silver (S3) is pretty badass too IMO.
mcinnes: I have the set from my old one and while I have plans for them anything is for sale at teh right price, email me if you wish: slegers@nac.net

A friend of mine wrecked one. I pulled 3 wheels off of one in a junkyard. I know of one languishing in the yard of a mechanic's shop. So there's 3 to remove from the list.

Hey guys, maybe you can help me out in figuring what the hell I have. I have 2 93 TT's, but this is my first 1st generation 7, so I don't know crap about'em. It has no emblems, except for the Rx-7 ones. It's an 83, silver with burgundy pinstripes, sunroof, Burgundy interior (So far all Basic, woopdeedoo), but it has power mirrors, windows, and leather interior. I'm not up on the model name, and have no manual that came with it, so I have no way of knowing. People keep asking me, and I keep asking people, but no answers. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,,Bill

i know where an LE sits for $200. the interior is wasted due to the lack of a windshield. it is missing two wheels. i think the guy is asking too much. don't know if it runs..

Check out the wheels on my car. I know that they are LE wheels but don't know if they are the ones you are looking for. They are on the front, on the side view pic. I would be willing to sell them for the right price.
