Hey guys, not sure if anyone else saw this, but found it while surfing on Kijiji tonight. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ371233635
Its quite a custom job, but you can see from the roof line, doors and rear hatch it is in fact a 1st gen 7 under all that body work. Not much of the original Mazda seems to remain though. if the front end was a little different it would be a pretty cool looking car, but the front is just fugly IMO. Something seems suspect about the supposed $45000 written evaluation though.

 

I saw that, and to me that's no longer an RX7 anymore. V8 and the owner wants it to look like a custom muscle car, is just wrong.

 

Looks like the front's trying to be a Viper.

 

Looks stupid

 

My first thought was the front looks like a Neon...

 

fugly...waste of 45k....the things i could do with that money to my car haha

 

Evaluation of $45,000 = "I paid the appraiser some money to give me an absurdly high value so I can scam my insurance company and/or use the value in a For Sale ad".

 

hahaha good call

 

poor attempt at a viper replica

 

Given I had the money, I'd buy it, strip it, stock it, and sell it with a rotary in it... just so it wouldn't exist that way anymore lol

 

Its pretty ugly to say the least.

 

I'd be curious what kind of detail/modifications he put in to the interior.

 

I have seen something like this a long time ago. I found a website for a company based in Canada, that built these cars and they called it a "Python". But as of 5 years ago I could never find the website again. I figure the shop went out of business. But they had some details and pictures on the site when it was working. They basically gave you different v8 options and trans options. Also I remember they showed that they were using miata headlights.

 

looks like he was trying to make an old corvette sting ray wanna be.....but i also agree...it's ugly
