Hello all...



I'm really interested in buying an FB. An ex girlfriend of mine's mom has a 79 RX7 that she's thinking about selling. I think I can get it for a pretty good price, and I'd like to know if there is anything particullarly special or different about the 79 year.



Thanks!

It has manual windows and a chassis number starting with SA.

Also like the FB it has a stiff monocoche chassis.
