My brother is looking at buying this car as a project car does anyone recognize the car.

No, but it looks freshly detailed... $300 seems pretty reasonable with the condition of the paint/body.

 

Yeah. That's not a terrible deal, maybe offer him less, but I wouldn't be upset paying $300 for it.

 

Thats cool I didnt really know what the first gens were worth.

 

For the condition of the car, and the guy *seems* to know what hes talking about, thats a good price.
I'd chat with him for a while (if you know rotarys well, which is assumed) and find out if he knows what hes talking about.
If he does, ask him why he doesn't fix it.
Then buy it :P

Sounds like a great project car.
Tell your bro to have fun, and jump on this !

Tell you brother to come down to my place and I will give him a ride. We need another turbo FB in the group!

 

Ya I know him. One of my best friends. I talked him into buying that car, it ran great until it lost compression. Didnt blow anything, just a gradual loss of power, then it sat for awhile, and wouldn't start back up. He did a compression check on it after rebuilding the carb and replacing everything that he thought might be the problem. Definatly worth the 300. It also has a GSL rear end, I dont think he listed that. That alone is worth 300.

Someone pick this up and bring it back to life!

 

The guy is totaly trustworthy. What's listed is whats right/wrong with the car. Like tanjo said the gsl rear is worth 300 and I know it was painted about a year and a half ago. If i was in the market I'd pay 3 easy.

 

he wouldnt return my call. wtf

 

yeah can you PM me he hasnt returned my brothers call or email either.

 

unfortunately he is planning on puttuing a LS1 in it so not another turbo FB.

 

oh, that is cool too!

 

I'll buy the thing.. I have an 82 GSL with a beat up body/screwed up wiring but running engine... I'd love to make the swap and ditch my GSL's carcass.. Emailed the guy since he obviously doesn't answer his phone.

You guys serious about this? I have cash on hand... but if somebody else wants it, I'll step back.

 

Well, I'm picking it up friday. No LS1 in this cars future.

 

That's cool

 

Yea I was a little slow on getting the car. After a couple of days I finally got an email back, and then right after that another one saying the car was sold.. That's alright, there will be more

Hopefully next summer I should be ready to show Zack how to drive an RX7
