yes!

my dad picked up an 1983 rx7 gs!! w00t. it was hanging around my neighbour. he was asking 4800 dad made an offer of 4500. ill pricy? it runs nicely though. ill get jon to help me out. its ported (probably street) and has an performance exhause (forgot what name)

but first...


must get my lisence. and i have lots of reading to do.

 

Congrats!!!

 

holy crap. $4500? it must look like it just rolled off the assembly line. this thread is useless without pix+divx!

 

My dad picked mine up for 800, i get my lisence in jan. cant wait.

 

Those are Canadian bucks, so no big deal. And you get what you pay for, right? Post some pics of your new sweetie!

Ray

 

heh, so in USD you paid about a buck twenty five.

 

the USD is weak in comparison with the CAD these days. 4500CAD isn't worth much less than 4500USD... we're talking 3500USDish for the car. That's still a lot.

However, I noticed that these old sports cars seem to demand more a price premium in CA than they do here in the states.

 

ouch...the most ive paid for an rx7 is $250...and it ran good too...til i overheated it and blew the hell outta the coolant seal...

well...i hope you enjoy your new baby...and POST SOME GODDAMNED PICS! this thing better be pristine with like 20k original miles...lol

 

what if it had 20k un original miles?

 

total ripoff take it back!

 

well it is a bit expensive, but he is giving front panels (from another rx7 i think) fender and those other stuff that go around the hood. it has z rated tires. alarm, nice stereo with 2 10'' subs. 2 amps.

but all and all, my dad is paying for it! hehe.

the owner also changed the engine with a V8 400cu







just kidding!!! but he did change it with another 12a, at 180k now the car has 200k.

ill post some pictures and maybe divx when we get the car. or ill just walk next door and take some snaps!


only thing i don't like is the spoiler that the previous owner put on. but if i remove it, there will be some marks :s

 

ha, nice aquisition.

i've always wondered about those names like "dreamingOfrx7" and whatnot. What happens when you do get an rx7? You're screwed.

anyway, yeah, it should be in excellent shape for that much money. I paid $500 for a 79 and an 84 parts car.

POST SOME PICS!!

 

3500+USD for a 83 GS, that's alot. Exactly what kind of performance exhaust does it have?

 

Seems a little high but I have seen them go for over 4k before. Let's see some pics.

well is a ported engine with new headers to exhaust worth that much? i guess the owner wants to recover all the money that he put into it.

 

^ not worth that much unless its PP

ok...i still wouldnt pay that much for a PP...cuz the engine would only last like 5k miles...lol

 

PP?? port polish?

edit: me = n00b

 

lol i payed 100 bucks for mine. bought it at an auction. fired up in the lot, was surprised.

 

PP= Peripheral Port

 

You folks are so lucky.

I'm pretty sure the US got like 80% of all of these little cars. Buying an RX7 there is akin to buying and orange in an orchard.

Its all about availability & desirability. A pretty shabby example here is about $3000 AUD.

Aw, and congrats on the car.

Cheers Sue

 

ah yes... i heard of this scary thing.

yeah i think its the desireabilty that was factored in. just before my dad bought it, there were other people that looked at it and test drove it. then when they left, we jumped right in and bought it after our lil test drive.

the neighbour said that he will get it all checked up and safetied. and change the breaks.

 

how bout some pics already. do not deprive me of my ****.

 

its commin' i just have to pick up my digi cam. :P

 

Can't wait to see some picks, when are you getting ur license? 45XX is a little much, but if you get what you payed for then, what the hell?
