alright, i recently acquired a 1973 rx2 sedan. got it for $75!!! the body is in BAAAD shape and will more than likely need replacement fenders in the front, the rest is gonna have to be hacked and reworked. . . . totally. hehe. the interior is in GREAT condition. i figured for $75 id be getting something gutted or whatever. . . but thats not the case, im pretty sure i have a car that can be restored. . . successfully. it has a 12a twin-dizzy in it. which is cool, i have to say. . . though, research says get it swapped for a single dizzy.

the car has 495,000 miles on it!!!! WHOA!!! hahaha, based on what the previous owner says, i think i MAY be able to start it up if i can get the carburetor to work properly. i cant find a rebuild kit for it, though. does anybody know where to get it? the advance auto shop out here says its not in stock. can i use a 1st gen kit? i know a lot of NOTHING when it comes to carbs. . . guess im just too young. anyways, id love to just get this thing running. . . even if its crappily running. . . just so i can move it for the time being.

any help would be great. . .

p.s. i dont have any pics of it right now cause my computer wont allow me to post them. . . so, once i can get that squared away, ill post them up.

You absolutely can't use an RX-7 kit. That's a Nikki carb in the 7, compared with the Mikuni-Solex/Hitachi/Nikki (different) carbs that made their ways through the Hiroshima plant.

If you need some parts of a donor sedan, let me know. I had to "sacrifice" a couple, to get mine into shape......

rotorbrain

haha, i may need some fenders. . . these fenders are just about toast. . . but right now. . . i gotta get it running. . . need a carburetor rebuild kit. . . and then more than likely a motor. haha

Hullie, why did you sell your two, only to start looking again? Did you just want another project, or did you hate the 74 that bad?
