I am inheriting a 1987 FC turbo that was mostly built by Mariah and further modified upon by my father. He always loved the mode 6 kit for the FC but wanted to make it more unique and one off, so did extensive body work to have a truly rare build.

I am still learning more about this car and what he has put into it, but I believe it is on HRE wheels, HKS suspension, and a fully built motor from Mariah at the time. (Sorry I am a noob to this rx7/rotary world).

I am looking to refurbish the car and get it running (it has sat garaged and unmoved for almost a decade, due to my father’s health complications.)

Is there a market for these types of vehicles? I am working on getting a full list of mods and specs on the vehicle before I put it up for sale. I know my father put a lot of money and time into the build and would like to do it justice, but I have no plans to keep the vehicle for myself.

More of photos to come

 

Welcome to forum

 

He had all the trim removed and filled in, and had the door handles shaved. There is another S4 car with a Mariah kit on here that someone has been trying to sell.
Take some pictures of the engine bay and if it has an aftermarket ECU get some pictures of that too. At a minimum you're going to want to check the gas tank and consider servicing the fuel system if the tank is nasty prior to attempting to start it. It would also be a good idea to lube the housings through the leading spark plug holes and then turn the engine over with a ratchet on the crank a few times to make sure it spins free.

 

Welcome to the forum! It's definitely a unique car and it's worth a fair amount of money. You just don't see stuff like that anymore. I'll definitely look forward to seeing more pictures of the car!

 

That sort of looks like Goleta. If so I'm in the area - feel free to ping me as I run my business out of Mariah's old building on Milpas - I don't tend to work with street cars but I think we know eachother from waaayyyy back
