Talking WOW! Where the first gens go to die.

Somewhere in california...my brother in law's buddy has a serious first gen collection.

These pics are just the ones at his house.

You should see his shop. First gen parts stacked to the rafters. :o

We need to round up some tow trucks and rescue these things, like the Rotary Humane Society.

There were about 360,000 SA/FBs sold in the USA from total production of 471,000. Its difficult to get an exact number as some Gen 2 were included in the 85 sales figures.

The best estimate is that in the US some 65-70% have died. In other countries the death rate is vastly different, for example 90% in Japan, 35% in Australia. I have heard that in New Zealand its less than 20% as they love old cars.

When you are talking about RX-7s dying, are talking about engines or cars? I bet the number triples if you talk about the engines.
