bought a 2nd rx7!

the wife actually found this one for me!

120k miles, needs a rebuild and is 4 lug... but other than that..... its perfect...

bought her for cheaper than i bought my other one for... what a great deal!

my other 7 has only 74k miles, runs (as far as i know) has 5 lug wheels...

time to start swapping parts!

Cool find man.
Are you planning on swapping parts from this new one into your other one?
Just because 4 lug means it's a GX which doesn't have an LSD. :p

No GX models in the states.

Looks like a base model to me, not a Luxury/SE which was the US version of the GX

That's clean...

Given the din area, I would guess it's an '86-87 Base...

The S4 armrests are all the same... lol

The vin won't tell you what package it has, but just whether it's N/A or turbo... The build date in the door jamb should be somewhere between 6/85 to 6/86 I believe...
