Clean V8 RX-7 on Ebay

My buddy emailed me these pics of a RX-7 on ebay. Does anyone know who's it was or who bought it? I'd like to talk to them.

I talked to this guy and I was going to buy the car. It's super-clean and is currently making 300+rwhp. It seems like the guy buys mustang-powered cars for a living. He had finished a Bronco, an SA22C, and also a 240Z, all with 240Z engines. He also is going to be selling an FC with a 4.6L OHC engine from a 1996 Mustang GT.

I would recommend buying this car to anyone that doesn't really feel too bad about taking out the rotary engine. It's clean, extremely well built, and it will be FAST. It's ready to be supercharged or turbocharged, so if you're looking for a 600+rwhp car, this is a good platform to start out with.

Fresh paint and body filler does wonders! I do believe he was asking WAY too much originally when he first posted it on the forum. No matter how much paint and filler you throw on it, it's still a 2nd gen.

When i talked to him, the price he asked of me (meeting him halfway and driving it back) seemed very reasonable. I dunno, it would be kinda neat to see a ~700rwhp twin turbo V8 RX7, or maybe a 550rwhp smog-legal car! Of course, it wouldn't technically be an RX-7, more of like and MX-7...

It don't look good. Swap it to a gtu/TII one or go to something different. Seems too short.
