Looking for my next first gen
I live in halthorpe Maryland and my first car was a sun beam silver metallic 1979 rx7 with a 4 speed manual. I think about that car every day. I just sold my rx8 in hopes of finding another first gen rx7 and that's why I joined rx7club. I miss the feeling of driving a street legal go kart.

Welcome and good luck with your search. Silver SA's are a little few and far in-between it seems today, but they are out there. With some patients you'll be able to find cars from complete projects to showroom looking new. My advice is to purchase the best condition car you can afford up front. Be advised, the best cars now a days can go into the mid to high teens. Avg drivers can still be had for half that much.
Your 4 speed car must have been an S model. Those are normally a little less expensive as compared to the GS cars. |
I got one but the forum won't let me post it???
|
To the original poster, ask and you shall receive: tmet07 above has an ad for a silver GS, he just placed in the for sale section.

to the OP, have u checked the classifieds of this forum? |
Thanks Banzai. I wasn't actually ready to sell it, was just commenting on the OP.
To rxtasy3: How do you know how good the car is or how much the OP wants to spend? It was a starting point going off of what Banzai suggested they are worth. Thanks for steering him away. Too may rules about where post should be placed, probably wrong place for this... |

it was moved to the classifieds as this is the intro section. if u have a car/parts for sale, it goes in the proper section. and i seriously doubt the OP is looking to spend 10k for one.

Yes ive checked but to no luck. And yeah a 12a car isn't really worth 10k to me. Not looking for a mint car looking for something kinda rough that runs.

Ebay and bat really screwed prices up for these cars. I remember when you could pick one up for 1,500$ like 3 years ago and it would be in road legal condition. Now people want 3k for a pile of rust or a roller without a engine or transmission. I've seen a car for sale for close to 2 years in ok shape but they just wanted too much and nobody was willing to buy it. Sad but I can see a lot of these cars being parted out in the future for the simple fact the owner wants way to much money.

i agree. same holds true for the old school stuff. sellers want way more than i'm willing to pay for a rolling rust bucket.
