RX-8 shifter for SA

Im selling my 79 rex so I pulled the RX-8 shift **** out of it and Im selling it seperate. It has the 6-speed pattern (which causes alot of confusion for someone looking at my car) and it is not lighted. Im asking round $75 for it, like new, no defects or anything that makes it visually look bad. I only put 10 miles on this thing.

It fits on with no modifications? I though that it only fit fbs, not SAs. Cool, good thing to know.

Just tell people that the 6th gear synchro grinds a bit, so you really have to force it.

ya really, some guy from a half-way house came to look at a bronco and he took a look at the rex while he was at it. He was stupid as a rock and couldnt believe that it was only a 4-speed.

Im gonna try and sell it locally till januray, then part it I guess. I realy dont want to part it becasue of the work and time and room it takes but I might have too. If I put the price down to $750 some low-life will grab it up and not care whats wrong with it as long as he can drive it away.

I would like to have the car but by the time I build the motor or put in my spare I will have to much in it.

Put it in the Iwanna, Someone will buy it. It pulled great and had a good feel.

My dad said the brake MC may be bad and that is why the brakes are soft.

Hit me up before you part it, I have a car for sale and may sale it anytime.

Would you want to trade it for an 82 GSL?

The oxicadation on the hood is a bit worse now, Cut out the cat two weeks ago and replaced it with a straight pipe.
The dash has two cracks that can not be seen from the camera angle.
the Rear Carpet is missing.

You would of corse have to pay boot in any trade.

It runs Great, My wife drives it every time we are home. The Resevoir looks like that all the time, It is full and the brakes work. Car has 104K ish miles, Close to 105k.

Nothing really Wrong with it, Just normal 1st gen problems. One odd one, The Choke cable will not pull, It just quit letting us pull it one day.

Boot is an Old time Traders Term, It means money you pay me inaddition to the trade.
