Thumbs up Just picked up a fc! :)

Theres this guy where i live who's 68 years old and has 4 rx7's he needed some money to buy a little pick up truck and i knew about this fc he has. this car is in immaculate condition and drives like it was just out of the dealership. all stock always adult owned, owner before him was in real estate and bought it in 99 and parked it.
car has 70,000 original miles, its a 1986 GXL. I really don't have a huge need for it but don't need to get rid of it. But if there's any true rx7 fans that are interested in the car don't be afraid to ask.
(paints gone from sun bathing )

thx everyone! and yeah this old guy was 68...i mean he only drove it 300 miles since he bought it lol. car looks better then some of the 2000-2004 stuff I get at work. Only complaint is, after owning 2 turbo fc's and a turbo mr2, this thing just isnt to fast. handling is insanely good and transmission pretty bad ***. thinking about putting it on the market since I dont have a real need for it. and ya the oem cassete player and radio works power steering works electronic suspension works!

No offense, but that car is nowhere near immaculate... But the car appears to be a good driver...
Congrats on the find, and a 70k odometer is a nice thing to look at.

Anyone notice how 7's with red interiors usually have better condition interiors than blue/black/grey?
