I saw this listing and this guy says it has a non-rotary factory equipped B19 engine. Sounds like a hoax. Check it out,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-...item33581b343d

I asked him if he had any engine shots, so we'll see lol.

 

...it has a volvo engine?

 

Wow, that is rare. Its interesting that he is promoting its rare engine, but has no engine pictures.

 

WOW! It could even be factory STRIPES. Man, is that steering wheel cover factory too?

 

Haha yeah really, those stripes are hideous. I love your avatar pic btw.

 

b19... yuck horrible horsepower.... her son prolly stole her engine and gave her that beat down 97-possibly, highly doubtful 117hp engine... no wonder it was driven by granny

 

cant wait to see the pics

 

Sounds pretty fhishy to me.............

 

Well aside from the hideous graphics, slushbox, and the claimed B19 engine. That vert looks ridiculously clean compared to the trashed up FC's in my area.

 

"we do not know if it came with these stripes, as they look factory." the pimp my ride factory? i just realized this car is in tempe, i may have to check it out next week

 

You know whats weird is that is looks like it has a s5 turbo gauge cluster. I can't see the boost gauge, but from the angles I see a 7k rpm redline and the s5 style gauges.

s4 N/A



s5 N/A

 

I wonder how hard it is to fit one in to a FC? Be interesting to see pics, as 4cyl Volvo Redblocks are ten a penny and can do over 1000bhp...

 

The seller is delusional.
Dollars to donuts that the ebay lister never provides engine bay pics and if he does, it's going to be the stock rotary engine.

Something looks wrong with the top...it's so baggy and loose when in the up position.
Possibly another "factory" modification?

@the absence:
Guage cluster looks like a bone stock S5 vert part to me.
Doesn't even have stripes.

 

Yeah i think its a hoax. I looked at the ad yesterday and knew someone would find it and post. So i guess we are all waiting to see this special B19 engine. lol

 

I left him a nice question containing things like "how is a Volvo engine a Mazda factory installation", and something like "How does it bolt up to a Mazda trans" and I mentioned something about rx7's only ever being a unique rotary engine car. I'm interested in pics and more/less can't wait for it to say 13B Injection Mazda on top of the intake

 

the seller is really high on crack or does not know what the **** is he selling,that is just a S5 vert with some gay vinyl and a factory 13B.B19 what the **** let just wait until monday for the pictures so then we can go eon e-bay and make fun oh him.

 

THIS RARE MAZDA COMES WITH THE B19 ENGINE... NOT ROTARY FACTORY ORDERED VERY RARE!

THIS COULD BE A COLLECTOR ITEMS!

WE DO NOT KNOW IF IT CAME WITH THESE STRIPES, AS THEY LOOK FACTORY.

HERE IS A VERY RARE MAZDA RX7 WITH THE B19 ENGINE FROM THE FACTORY.

What an idiot! I would not buy anything from him.
Moron!

 

Series 5 convertibles have a redline of 8k. The automatics and the manuals don't matter in terms of the redline... right?

 

^^^^Autos had 7k redline. Just the same as the auto RX-8's have a 7k redline while the 6-Speeds have the 9k.

 

Whoa, you learn something new everyday!

 

Looks like the typical graphics that a 60 year old lady would put on her car... not so much.

You should do a title search to see if Evel Knievel owned it.

Kinda funny that the wheels and seats make up 90% of the value of that car.

 

if you type the vin into google the carfax website comes up and says it came with 1.3L R FI. people are so stupid!

 

Carfax is useless, all it'll tell you is the stock specs.
If the engine was swapped, Carfax would be the last one to know.

 

correction robbie Knievel owned it!! haha....13b tractor engine ftw!

 

and yet no engine bay shots

I doubt no wait I BET the b19 trans doesn not bolt up to the stock auto trans because that shifter looks factory 13b auto trans
