very nice very clean 88 GTU with blown motor was 500
for another ~750 it was rebuilt by yours truly, ported (block and TB + TB mod), and then I, being the professional that I am, used a bad oil cooler line. It took about 30 miles for that oil cooler line to blow up and that car is just about ready for yet another rebuilt engine LoL
Then I bought a beautiful, running 88 GXL for 1800 and it was just screaming to be modded.
Those are the two most recent additions to the family.

$2900 White 91' GXL, 130k, tinted windows
Flawless black leather interior
HKS intake
apexi exaust,w bonez dp and highflow cat
4 tokicos, 4 eibachs
sway bars, strut bar (frt)
RF 500w w/ 2 10" Orions w/box fitted btween towers in rear
hatchback cover
one small crack in front bumper
Motor and tranny different now. I only bought it with the intent of a swap. Worth every penny in my opinion. I almost crapped my pants when he offered it to me. He wanted $3250 and I would have paid it too!

2 years ago I bought my vert for $4,500 and the body had 90k and the motor had 26k, it was in great shape. It also had all the papers from everything ever done to it since it was new, even the dealer papers. I think I got a good deal, the only thing that has broke to this day was the OMP, I am very happy with my buy to say the least.

First RX7 - 13 years ago I traded an ailing 1990 Ford Escort GT for and ailing 87 Base model. Probably worth $1500. Spent $400 and had a good running car.
Second RX7 - In 1995 paid $5800 for a 1988 GTU with 54,000 original miles. Still have it today with 113,000 miles and a fresh engine in it.
Third RX7 - 5 years ago bought a non running 87 TII for $700. Stripped it and sold about $500 worth of parts. Gave the engine/trans to a friend for his rotary miata project. Still have it as my racecar project.

In 1987, I paid $2500 for a yellow '79 5 speed with 70k miles. That one I sold for $100 after the 2nd motor ceised at 193k miles.
Bought another '79 in 1991 for $800. That one went to the junk yard after the engine cought on fire a year later.
Bought a '91 vert in 1995 for $15000 with 72k miles on it. On it's 3rd engine with 293k miles, I ran into a truck and ended up selling it for $500.
Now I have a VW, but miss my RX7s.
