Cool RonKMiller's FD on ebay?

Get it some different wheels, 99 taillights, and an aluminum AST and you're set! The interior is certainly different, and the engine bay looks spotless.......

Yeah, and they probably weigh about 30 pounds each, might as well strap manhole covers to your hubs......

It looks like a very solid car, but some aspects are definitely going to be "love it or hate it".
And Ron if you read this, truth in adverstising please. I'm as old as you and can still get in and out of mine just fine.

Ron had a F/S add up here on the forum about a month or so ago, but no takers. I expected it to pop up on Autotrader or eBay sooner or later.

A while back, he was looking to buy some "rotary specific" tools. He may want to sell those also.

ron was big on aviation if i remember right (cant remember if he was pilot, mechanic, or both), and the interior seems to match up pretty well with that scheme. the screws in the panels look a lot like aircraft instrument panels. pretty much on key with him. . . not sure about too many other people though.

whats great about it is that ron was a phanatic about maintenance and DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY. the buyer of this car will get a VERY sound rx7!!!

No, I think it's a threaded rod.

Ron has been around for quite a while.

One thing I will say about Ron: I may never have agreed or liked some of the modifications he did to his car; but I did then (and still do now) respect the fact that he had the ***** to mod the car they way he wanted it in spite of what anyone else thought.

I have seen the car and it is very clean. He works like 2 minutes away from my old house. It always had the car cover on when parked.
