Good stuff, welcome to the wonderful world of Rotary. Shouldn't be too hard to work out your model. I suspect its an GS.

i was too excited to list everything yesterday so here is what i know about the car

- stock engine (12a)
- 5spd
- Red with grey pinstriping
- factory mags
- sunroof
- black vinyl interior no tears in seats but dashboard is cracking.
- everything works (lights, heater, ac, stereo... ect)
- 1980
- im prety sure the model is a GS its the only badge its missing heh .
- engine is running great and strong , atleast for now i hope it doesnt decide to crap out or anything.
i will be taking some pictures today.

i payed 1200$ canadian for it proly around $700 american i suppose.
