Interest in knowing how many FC's are registered??

I've always wanted to know how many other rx-7's their are out there.
The FD guys got together and raised up the $750 to find out

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-gen-general-discussion-322/registered-fd-s-state-536441/
Since their are more FC's it may cost somewhere between 750-1000
the company USCmatt used is less than 3 miles away from my house so i could even stop by and try to get a better rate in person.

If you guys are intrested sign up on the list, but only if your REALLY up for giving.
after we have enough people ill start collecting.
theirs more than enough of us to do this easy.

1. Snowball ($20)

I was highly impressed with the way R.L. Polk & Co. handled this task, it was like a walk in the park for them. It only took 2 days for them to get the information back to me after I paid.

It only took us a week to gather the $750, and that was from the first pledge to the final donation. One good thing about it is that the January '06 data is going to be available this month. We decided to settle for the October snapshot of last year, so the FC data would be more current.

The woman I dealt with on all this also has an uncle who has an RX7 - 88 turbo

Even if you only pledge a $1 or $2, it still helps the cause. Everyone who donated for the FD registration list was extremely happy to get the data, and no one thought it was a waste of money.

Pledged:
1) Snowball $20
2) USCmatt $10

I think you might also ask how much it would cost to just do ALL the other years (1978-1992)
Anyways, pending whatever it costs and etc.

put me down for $1.
I think that's fair considering I don't even live in the same country as you so the results are useless to me, but I'm just curious

No, it would just show how many are still out on the road today, legally. Basically how many are tagged and titled at each states DMV. For FD's it was the snapshot as of October '05, but if this goes through, the FB and FC's will most likely have January 06 data. They do it for every quarter.

If you have the overall production numbers, the difference would be the totalled or non-operational. I think for FD's it ended up being something around 68% still on the road.
