ok, it's pretty and all, but $14,000 for one that has 56k miles?? you've gotta be joking...

I've had my eye on it for a while. I'm thinking of getting it for a parts car.

I guess that means I really got a deal when I paid $100 for my '80 with only 52800 miles in all original condition. Just needed some ATF to wake it from its 3+ year slumber.

Somebody email this guy and ask why the price is where it is.

I am sure the response posted here would be incredibly amusing.....

Nice color, but there's no way it's worth that much. Maybe that's the appraised value? It still doesn't make sense to start an auction that high.

It doesn't make sense to start an auction that high, but then Feb 6 was a free buy-it-now day so it didn't cost him anything to post it. Maybe he was just hoping for that one-in-a-kajillion chance that some kajillionaire would get all nostalgic and have to have it.

It didn't cost him anything, and no one got hurt in the posting so who cares?

I actually did email him asking what features the car had to justify the price. It was a polite and straightforward email.

To date (over a week later) I've had no response.

Hah!

I got a 79 same color I would sell for 600 if any in interested. Will come with gsl rear (for disk conversion I never did) Gsl struts and disk rotors, (more spare parts). Has a Racing beat header, presilencer, Mieneke after pipe (mid pipe had hole in it) and racing beat powerpulse muffler. Car runs great no leaks good compression. I just got a gsl-se and I need to clear space in the garage. If anyone is serious I will bring it to you (within 100 mile radius of DC) or email me and I will send u pics. Doesnt run hot, burn any oil or smoke. Has Mazdatrik air filter lid and K&N filter. (oh and kenwood am/fm/cassett) includes glass sunroof/moonroof. Also have some rear sheetmetal so u can mount 6x9 speakers behind the seats (79 didnt have storage bins) Has original burgandy interior with leather gsl-se burgandy seats.

Cheap to good home.
(this was my first Rx)
