Hi guys, I thinking of restoring my RX3 SP. it is a 1977 and is pretty complete as far as it was a race car for most of its life, 70's to 90's in SCCA. I have it for sale but thought if I restore it, have some fun and then sell it it maybe worth more.

Does anyone know at a good guess what one restored would get on the market?

Thanks you

I would restore it back to original condition....it will be worth much more than a race car.

didn't this car just sell on eBay

the car was auctioned off in Texas along with another 60-70 other rotary vehicles. I assume the person that won the auction on this particular car immediately put it on e-bay to make a quick dollar. it was posted for sale on e-bay but not sure if it sold or not.

i was interested in about 10 cars out of the 60-70 that were auctioned off in Texas. Unfortunately for me, i had to factor into my purchase price about $1000 auto transport cost which put me out of the bidding on most of the cars that i did on. Some of the cars went for much higher than i was willing to pay but it was a fun experience.

Shipping cars back to FL was not fun lol. dealing with brokers is a pain.

I'll tell you right now I was one of the people fighting for this car. The only reason I wanted it was to race it and occasionally drive it to work. these cars are worth the most restored to original condition, anything else and it's not worth as much typically. That might change as the market changes. David Meditz wants to get in contact with you to get you the log books for this car. I'd say restore it to its former race spec, enjoy it and see what happens with the market.

i bet. i just had a car shipped from an island off of Vancouver BC and it was a huge pain in the ***.

what did you pick up from the Texas auction?

RX2fan

Between my friend and I 2 rx2 coupes, a repu and a RX4 wagon. Once the ball gets rolling I'll start a thread or something. I'm curious as to who bought the R100s.

i bid on all of the r100's if i remember correctly there were two? What wagon did you pick up? i was really interested in a blue one with white interior. Cant wait for your thread.

RX2fan

My buddy picked up the 76 RX4 station wagon. I really wanted that Blue wagon with the white interior but I ended up not going after it.

thats awesome! just noticed you are in tampa, i am in ft lauderdale. tell your buddy i will buy it from him if he is interested in selling it.

since the OP has not been back to check his thread, i dont feel bad hi-jacking it

RX2fan

haha same. He's not selling it lol I think he's planning on dailying it. On the truck that our cars came also came what I believe was that green cosmo and a truck. I'm assuming it was a repu. One in Tampa and one in Melbourne I believe.

What's the story with the Rx3 sedan behind the fence? For sale?

That car sold on Ebay a couple of months back.

I saw it on ebay but the seller wanted stupid money, like $15,000 so I wasn't sure if it sold. I have a 73 808 sedan (all Rx3 sheet metal) that I imported, but the California DMV are screwing me over on. If I can't get a title I'll have to sell it to someone out of state and look for something else. That sedan would have been perfect.

Thanks for giving me the heads up.

If you are not going to restore let me know how much you are asking. you could text me at 7876308687, I see the car went out of states. so its best for you to restore it. most of the parts missing you could find them on ebay for the dash, door panels and seats.
