i highly doubt anyone will bid. Few people have $30k just laying around. and those that do, dont usually buy unamed piles of misc. parts. The fc is probably worth, what, 6k? if that. The miata is only half done, and from how it sounds, i bet the motor isnt even mounted properly. so, the 20b is probably worth about 2k, if it runs. maybe 3k for the empty miata. so, thats 11k. I dont know if there $19k worth of parts there. then somehow the buyer has to get it home.

He said he wanted 10g for the race car, 10g for the miata and 6g just for the 3rotor!! so that's 3 for the rest of the crap... yes, it's overpriced crap.

I wouldn't touch their race car.


Oh, and I don't think that that stuff actually belonged to Skip, I think he just worked there.... could be wrong.

I think this guy should split the auction up... That's too much ****.

I dont think they can legally sell the miata, as Mazda gave it to them as a promo.

Beings they have no skill or any idea about rotaries, they never got it working. Thus, they have no use for it, as they cannot fill mazda's specifications, and, they cannot get rid of it as mazda gave it to them.

I'd say the seller is hiding somthing, besides his own ignorance. That is just too much stuff to just lump together. Who knows, half the stuff he shows could be ruined goods. I bet I'd have 20-30 ruined housings laying around after doing 50 rebuilds or so. Fact is, if he really wants to sell it, he'll need break it up into smaller packages, and take specific photos.

thats exactly what i was thinking
I bet most of it is **** they never threw away, when I did car stereos you have an idea how many take outs I had laying around, I mean man it looked like DAMN , but truth is most if not all of them had problems, still worth a little in parts, but anyways..
