RX-7 Backseats?

I have always wondered about this. I am thinking of purchasing an 88 rx7 for a drift car. On ebay all of them look like 2 seaters, but seat belts are coming out of the floor from behind the front seats....
So DO rx-7s have back seats to seat more than 2 people? I don't want to buy a car that I can't cruise around in with more than 1 person.

Not all RX-7s had rear seats. They all have the attach points for the rear seats and the rear seat belts, but most of the cars were 2 seats with 2 storage bins in the rear where the seats go. The rear seats are not full size seats, its called a +2 seat. A full size adult would have a very very difficult time sitting back there in any kind of comfort. I'm talking from experience, I'm 6'1" and I tried sitting in a back seat before. I think anyone over 9 yrs old would uncomfortable sitting there for any legnth of time.

So is like there a backseat at all? sorry but i'm a newbie. So is the rx-7 like a crx. You know how like in the US the crx has no backseat. But JDM's has backseats and you can get the backseats from some JDM's or local junk yard. So i the rx-7 the same as the crx when it comes to the backseat thingy?

Does the midget have legs? If so, he wouldn't fit in my '85 back seat.
