1979 rx7, 5spd, 72,500 org miles fs

hello, im new here, ive been wanting and rx7 for sometime now, i finally got one. but i used the money i was going to school on, because i thought i was getting student aid, but didnt, so now i have to sell it... fast... i have the car signed over, but i havent signed it or sent it in yet.... it still has the window sticker for it, and i have the reciepts from the original owner... it runs and drives good. it has a dent in passenger door, that could probably be pulled out. paint is ok but a little faded. red in color with black interior. uncracked dash, i just need my money back out of it... $2,000 takes it...[IMG][/IMG]

Why not keep it? A few hours of detailing and minor engine work and this thing will purr.

I can even get you in touch with a guy that knows these carbs up and down.

It's a damn shame that you need to sell this. Post a full set of pics and post it under the main for sale section in the 1st gen section too. Decent SAs, especially low mileage ones, are getting harder to find. Personaly I would hold the price in the 1800-2000 range. Since this is a rust belt car, how much wheel well/bin rust is there?

I'd pick it up for 1200 in a heartbeat, but I have too many cars already, need to sell 4 of them to clear out the driveway and am very cash poor atm. Good luck on the sale and don't cut your cash flow short just because you need a quick sale.

it looks good. if you were closer to me i would help you clean it up and take pics. if you were wanting to fix it up and keep it, i have a decent door.
...if you still have it come spring you should polish the crap out of it!

well, it drove great, brakes worked fine, shifted nice and smooth. but ever since its been getting cold its been a basterd to keep it runing after the choke kicks off.... but i bet if you got it good and warmed up first, it would make it...
