That would be fine by me, so let's just go ahead and plan on that. The weather should permit fine.

"Barn fresh": Never heard a POS rust heap called that before If there was much of a base to work with left that would be cool. Maybe Jay Leno will save it and have a pair of NSU's. As it sits , that is a very expensive pile of corrosion.

I am planning to be there. I may not be able to stay for the business meeting, but I should make the parking lot action.

I'm planning to be there, too. I'll be rocking a new fuel pump sock, hopefully functional 5/6 ports, and no oil leaks

That's a lot more rare than what jay leno has. That's the ONLY rotary car to be mass produced before mazda bought the rights to the rotary engine. Jay leno has a 68 cosmo, but that's made by nsu in 65. It's not even a mazda and the engine's even more prehistoric than a 10a. I won't be suprised if he does buy it.

He has a NSU as well I have seen a segment on it as well as his Cosmo. The dude with the huge catapiller under his nose had it on his show... Dennis Cage I think?

Jay's is a 66 NSU spider. Here is a link to a video. It's even Red.

Price is low because its a rust bucket as Dave pointed out. The best part is
the interior and some other bits. Would be a good parts car for restoring another.

Hey a little bondo and that Spider will be ready for the September OGTA meeting. Incredible elegant design in that car, rear mounted single rotor engine with an SU carb, it doesn't get any better than that.

Check out the test drive video, that thing hauls. The backfire a few seconds after the car is turned off is to die for.

And in case you guys are wondering why it's taking Mazda so long to get the next RX-7 on the market, here's one of their recent development videos:

I'm planning on being there tomorrow night.

Hey, does anyone know where I can find a could regulator for my air compressor. I gotta paint my sunroof. Perhaps in the Lilburn to Lawrenceville area.

Wow, dave. Never saw that video. I was under the impression that he only had the cosmo. But i'm not surprised, that dude is crazy. On another note, i can't make the meet tonight, but i can't wait for the pictures to be posted.

Anybody want to buy a gray S4 dash for $25?

Black leather 4th gen Maxima seats on RX-7 seat rails that Alex used to own for $40?

FC Power Sunroof assembly WITH black sunroof panel with minimal rusting? $30?

I also have a 12a air cleaner box, igniter, and an FB tail light in a bag in the back of my car. $15.

Tonight was a good night! Well, except for the crappy service from the hot waitress, and the fact that I ran out of gas in the parking lot due to a deceptive fuel gauge... Thanks to Crit, Billy, Kristy, Holly, and Jeremy for the help!

I need to get rid of this gray S4 dash and the black sunroof panel and sunroof power assembly though... Everybody ask around! Pickup needs to happen!
