this guy claims to have a '73 rx3sp, bought from texas with a title that says so. that's what he sent back to me after sending him a message saying it wasn't. all the SP's i've seen were late '70s.

Not that they arrived over here, but I understood 76 and 77. No such thing as a 1973 SP.

 

Isn't the first generation RX-7 the predecessor of the RX-3?

 

First generation RX- 7 (1979) replaced the RX-3 SP, That made the 1978 the last of the SP's. Actually the 78's were discontinued in mid year because the first 79 RX-7 came out early. I don"t remember the first year RX-3 SP but I know they were 1974's and 1978's because I had one of them each. Way back when as in late 70's and early 80's. drove the 78 until 1989 before selling. Wish I hadn't but such is life

 

The SP's were produced in 77 & 78 only with the latter year 77's coming out as 78 models. The "73SP" on Ebay is not an SP. I emailed the guy with this info when the vehicle was first listed but he never replied. What you have there is a regular RX3.

 

RX-3SP's were only made for 1977 and 1978 model years. RX-3's were imported into the US from 1972 through 1978. There are many people that call their earlier RX-3 an RX-3SP(they are incorrect, but it is a free country I suppose!)

 

i'm just concerned for the un-knowing bidder that wins, thinking he's getting an SP. cause i know how pissed i'd be finding out after going to a meet, showing it as an SP an getting told be those that DO know that it's not, that i paid too much for it. i'd also like to know how somewhere down the line it was titled as an SP. thanx guys, i thought i was telling him right.

 

That poor hood!

1977 and 1978.

The rear lights look like regular RX3 lights. Not sqared like the sp

 

yes the nose and tail lights says '73. i have noticed tho that many ppl like the '73 tail lights and put them in later models.

 

True. But he actually advertised it as a '73 RX3SP.

 

xmas came early. Just pulled in a 76 RX-3 SP.

 

Where'd you find it? Pics please.
