Damn. Wish I had that kind of money. Honestly though, I just want an rx2/3. Those are my favorite. (I am aware of what an 808 actually is, before I get called out on it)

Jalopnik has an article on a pretty cool REPU

How About $20,000 For A Sweet 1975 Mazda Rotary Pickup?

This is what you get when the work is done.

There was a radio spot today, a dude arguing that birthdays (which would include Hitler, Stalin and spineless terrorists) be replaced by Accomplishment Day, the day you actually did something useful.

Like graduate, start a new company or finish a fine '75 REPU like this one:

Looks like a possible opportunity for someone looking for a nice SA, on craigslist located in Commerce:

RX7

Beware though, the pictures look like they were taken in the fall, so the car may have deteriorated since then.

You need a 79-82 radiator, you can't use a 83-85 because of the oil cooler under the radiator. Just trying to let you know do you don't buy the wrong one.

Here's another rotary swapped old school car. Right down the road from my old house, too.

1977 Celica with Mazda 13b rotary



I've been driving the FD every other day or so, I've put 140 miles on it since the turbos were replaced and it's doing well. The oil leak isn't as bad as I thought, only a few drops under the car...

I'm needing to sell my car. Anybody know who would want to buy it? Unless there is somewhere I can store it and work on it little by little.

Engine needs rebuild. Oil seal blew. Have 2 spare transmissions and driveshafts for it. Current trans grinds into 2nd if you shift fast. current driveshaft has a vibration. Has LSD rear end. Vert wheels. 4 piston front calipers. S5 tail lights. KYB AGX adjustable front and rear suspension with racing beat springs. Have an aluminum hood but it is blue. I have other spare parts too. Not too sure what all I have.

I've never seen this fancy orange/brown RX7 decal on a first gen. Kind of cool, kind of 80's though.

those stripe kits were dealer installed options that not many people opted for. crappy job they did on that one. check the ad link for other pix. middle and rear sections on pass side are lower.

Not a bad price for GSL-SE. Suspect it has running issues because of the blocks being used to keep
it in place on the driveway.

And the decals can probably be removed, that would help.
