one today around 1 PM at gaithersburg, MD. I noticed a white rx7 convertible was approaching with turbo hood. I thought it was like my convertible simply change the n/a hood to turbo. but whe it came closer, I saw the car with white 88 turbo rims, and a mid-age lady was driving it. after it passed me, I was like, holy ****, that is an 88 AE convertible? because I saw the AE taillights, AE badge on the fenders, and all moldings are white. man, I never seen one like this before.

the car looks like in straight body, with spoiler, black top.
unfortunately , I couldn't stop her, because I was going somewhere else.

I think the tag is "y84luch" something like that.

 

Was this before or after you took your morning bong-load

 

no, man, I truely saw it. I was so surprised. wish I had my camera with me.

 

My guess it that it was a normal white vert that somone put a AE hood and badges on, cool deal. Cause they did not make a AE vert. that is assuming you did not hit the hookah bright and early, those wake N bakes can make you see ****.

 

I saw a Chevy caprice with Impalla ss badges on it. People do dumb stuff like that all the time..........good eye though.

 

it is unlikely that someone will do that full AE swap on a vert. I mean, it is possible, but what is the motive behind that? what about a customer ordered at dealer. let's say that she wants an AE, but prefer to have the top down?

all exterior look like an AE with hood, badge, taillights, rims? if I see it again, I will try to talk to the driver(whoever).

 

or would be this lady own this AE, and she decided to have the top down. so she asked some shop to chop it down?

I have seen a convertible CRX!!!!! :-)

 

to have a turbo vert! with ae badging!!! I would do it if I had a shitty vert and banged up body for an ae but still good strong motor!

 

Befouling a collector's edition car should be forbidden, cutting the top off a car that wasn't meant to be off is one of the worst things you can do to it.. Changing rims, lights, and badging is very common....was it a 10th interior too?

 

I think it was most likely the other way arround a 10AE was stripped and parts were added to the convertible for a UNIQUE conversion!

 

I agree, 100%. It would be stupid to cut the top off a car who's model (minus the t2 and ae) that came from the factory with a topless option.... Ausies can you get 10ae verts? Maybe it is a jap car or something import, i dunno all i know aboout history of the 7 i learned from "sports car collector history" And it speaks little to none of the forien market...."sportscar colored history" has a pic of a t2 vert in europe..but those are common...i think over there all verts were t2's.....correct me if i'm wrong. I guess it's a posibility that they made a "euro" 10ae vert.....let's find out!

 

me want

 

Me want to see.

 

You make it sound difficult. There are plenty of 'verts that have had 13BT's dropped into them (or even just the TII hood), then it's just a case of painting all the appropriate bits white and buying the badges off Mazda. There are probably a few genuine details not worth copying that you wouldn't have seen.

It would be very east to make a 'vert look like an AE if that was the look you wanted. Hell, it probably wasnt even a turbo.
