TurboII Vert???

1990 Mazda rx7 turbo II vert

Sooooo, there are a few red flags to me with this ad. I'm sure this guy has no idea what's going on here, but I had to ask: Did they make a stock turbo vert in the US? I didn't think so... and wow, $17,000!?!?!

0 produced in the US, it was converted and the owner is lying or he knows jack about these cars.

if it was a RHD, yes they did come turbo. but it's not, so it wasn't.

i think he added an extra 0 on there by mistake and also an additional turbo, which isn't there either. some people just shouldn't own, or be allowed to sell cars and waste space.

seldomly i will get these fools at some car shows or tuning sessions and i just stand there shaking my head. i don't even bother responding because a pointless argument usually ensues.

Yep, "twin 35mm turbos" I don't even see the AFM, or plumbing for the turbo(s)...

Definitely a swap, hopefully the guy isn't being malicious and he's just ignorant.

or passing along the same BS that sunk the hook in his jaw to buy it in the first place, with the exception of still, adding an extra 0 to the price.
