RX-7 CMS,



I'm in Roanoke. Can't seem to find many people around the area that are into automobiles, much less rotaries. How about yourself?



Rob x-7,



The truck is an 83' with the Laredo package like you say. I actually bought it from the original owner who ordered it directly from AMC/Jeep. It has a 258/727 drivetrain, factory A/C, bucket seats and chromies too! Pretty rare combo from what I understand. There are probably two that I have seen run around here but they are totally rusted out with bumpers falling off and what not. Heh.

If you decide to rebuild it Atkins rotary sells good used rotors and housings for relatively cheap. Somewheres around 225 for both. Firs gens are pretty cool eh? :bigthumg:

The body is actually very nice; no major dents, never wrecked and no rust. It needs paint obviously, but other then that it's good to go.

Actually that body looks awesome minus the paint on it.Just needs a engine.You could always drop in a wrecker engine while you rebuild another one on the side. Looks like a clean car at least. :bigthumg:
