This looks like my find that I got, except I didn't find it, I got offered my 87 FC coupe for my 1980 Corolla. It looked very much like this, but instead of in a barn it was in someones very large back yard.

Recently I have found a surge of broken down or parts RX7 being posted onto craigslist... Much to my other half's dismay I have been spending money like it's been going out of style to turn our yard into a junk yard... Needless to say some of them had to be moved to friends houses lol. GREAT find btw, see if you can find any other RX7 that have been wrecked and turned into parts cars (god rest their souls!). I haven't found a more enjoyable car in my life to drive, I hope this will remain a life long passion of yours.
