hey I have a chance at an rx-7 for $300-$100 it is a 86 model with 69,000 miles on the motor. the fender hugged another car on the front pass side so it was totaled by the insurance and got a salvage title. it is still driveable but the exhaust has been removed and sold but not before I saw it run. so what do you guys think? go or no go? anything that I should look out for for this model? thanks

PS. it has the 13b engine with turbo

 

Go for it

 

The engine and transmission alone are worth more than $800.You can't lose.Fix the damage or swap the engine into a blown TII or N/A.Whatever you do it is still a great deal.

 

let me buy it!

 

Yah really, its probably worth double or triple right now. You can always rebuild the engine and get exhaust for cheap. And as for the fender I bought a new one for mine when i got my car for 80 bucks canadian.

 

shooooot
where do you live? ill buy it or help ya out....
i have many extra pieces you might need also(fender)

you say its a 13b with turbo???
is this a turbo rx7???( does the hood have a vent???)

 

wow, thats cheap. its worth that for a few parts!

 

if you don't buy it, i will. you say "southeast" and i'm in Birmingham.

 

whats the deal with the car buddy????

 

I am late getting this back to yall but i got the car at my house turbo and motor blown so I got one lying around to rebuild, I am putting another 13b in it so any advice is welcome i got the donor car for $60 and it seem to run good with plenty of power, i am in greenville SC. I need some interior parts like the console inside trim and the lense over the light cluster in the dash

Well if its an 86 then its not an actual TII, so you might want to check to see if the entire driveline was swapped or not.

 

I don't understand?

 

no turbo in 86

 

manual?

 

While it is true that there where no Turbo's until the 1987 model year, the data plate on the door jamb can be misleading. I have an '87 TII that has a date of manufacture of 3-86.
The 10th character in the VIN indicates the model year. 1986 'G' ;1987 'H' .
Good luck with your find!

 

both cars are auctually 87 models when I check the VIN on car-fax. I will post pics if someone can give me a hand
