I mentioned before about a first gen Rx-7 that a kid at my collage is selling. its a 1984 and it currently doesn't run. The owner says the engine starts but the fuel just isn't getting to the engine. It has a hood scoop and spoiler welded on to it and the hardtop is missing. He's asking $2700 for it, is that a fair price?

 

I mean, you're not getting scammed if its an actual car and you receive it. You may be getting ripped off. First gens do not have convertible tops...

 

Wait so is it a sunroof that's missing?

 

If it starts the owner should be able to demonstrate that with starting fluid. If not, then it's a non-running engine. You could also get a gallon gas can and a cheap electric fuel pump and make it run.

 

welcome to the board.

here's a video that will show you the sunroofs that were available from the factory. if there is a hole in the top of the car in this shape, then the sunroof is missing. as stated before, there was no convertible available from the factory, so the car should not be missing it's "top".

that said, there was at least one company that i can remember that did convertible conversions on these cars. if the whole top is missing, then it had that conversion done at some point in its life.

can you clarify what you saw for us?

 

Yeah so its definitely a sunroof that's missing. Is there anywhere I should look to try and find a replacement? Website, pick and pull, etc.
