I didn't "miss" that but I did ignore it.
The whole "factory swapped" scenario is so improbable I figured I was safe doing so. The idea that some Sun City grandma had enough pull with Mazda to create such a car is so farfetched that I think we can all discount it and instead imagine a circumstance where an oddball engine ended up in the car...assuming it's been swapped at all, which I doubt. |
classic!

color is a mockery of the racing beat cars.. lol

Maybe the seller is confused and he meant to sell this car?? :lol:
If you look after the winner of the Barcelona Constructor's Worlds, don't wait any longer. What Michael Niemas did with the set-up of this tiny Chevron-Mazda B19 was just miraculous. The car - a Dieter Jens creation - was struggling until the very last stages of the race with the leading Ferraris 512S and Porsches 917K. Next year Niemas will enter an Aston Martin DBR9 at the Barcelona Worlds. Pit Schwaar himself will build the second Aston DBR9. So we can be sure to see two splendid Astons in Spain. The master of the Aston will be built by Michael Gräber. |
:cursing: its monday and no pics, wth. i wanna laugh already
|
Well, looks like they pulled the B19 motor as now that nice looking little car has a 13B according to the revised ad, but no underhood pics, so far!

Engine pics now up.
It's very clean, albeit slathered in ArmorAll. |
Hah! I got them to change it by posting in the Q/A section. On a side note, that is one clean engine bay.
Q: Do you realize no RX-7 ever came with anything other than a 12A or 13B ROTARY engine? A B19 is a Volvo 4-cylinder, so if it's actually in that car, someone swapped it. It's NOT factory and neither are the ugly vinyl stickers. Dec-07-09 A: IT'S A 13B YOU ARE RIGHT. I FINALLY LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD THE GUY THAT OWNS THIS DECIDED TO SELL IT AS HIS WIFE DIED FROM A HEALTH ISSUE, HE DROVE IT HERE FOR US TO PUT ON EBAY HE TOLD ME IT WAS A B19 I HAD 20 EMAILS SO I HAD HIM DRIVE IT HERE TODAY..YOU ARE RIGHT.ALSO YES STRIPES ARE UGLY EASY TO TAKE OFF WITH A HEAT, I'M DOING HIM A FAVOR SELLING IT FOR HIM THAT'S ALL.STILL LIKE NEW CONDITION REALLY CLEAN. IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE DECALS OFF... PRETTY HOT LOOKING. |
Wait I'm sensing a pattern. Based on what he said before and what he's saying now... he was the real owner and he broke something. J/k.
Actually my guess is he has no idea what he's talking about but he just got this car and is trying to pretend like he does so he can sell it. I assume it's your typical neglected old person automatic. The last owner probably got tired of it or he inherited it. Could probably give it some minor service and it should be fine. Too bad it's an auto. Just a guess. Always get a car inspected before you buy. |
NO SHIT!!! The pics are up and ITS A B19!!!!
|
Looks like a very nice car for the money. Anyway he sure got my attention, and yours. If it was not a slushbox version I might go after that, after all, as he says, you can pull the vynil junk off

Wow. Thats rare. I wouldn't buy computer paper from this shady bastard. john ny |
$3,950.00 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Id like to see him get $500 for that car. No matter how clean that car is no one will want it, Fcs are a dime a dozen in my area. You could buy a beatup fc, replace everything and drop in a turbo motor for less than $3,950.00! |
And you'd have a beat up FC with a (probably) junk engine in it.
All for just $4k. Whoopie. |
