I have an 88 vert, never seen another one on the road, but in here they seem common.



also everytime i say to a mechanic/parts dealer when i say it is an 88 convertable with a 5 speed they say that they are realy rere and not to mess with it, keep it stock.



what have the rest of you seen about this car?

they are not that rare compaired to a 10ae or a 90gtus. if your goin to mod the car just enginer the modifications so that if the car becomes worth something to a collector you can restore it back to original. i myself try to do things that way but there comes a point when building a car that there is no turning back ya know.

seems like they are more common than coupe's around here, big difference, is the extra weight, other than that its just a regular fc. vert is always nice though

Nah, nothing special really. In most states aside from CA, NYC, Jerzee, you won't see that many rx-7's. I've only seen two while in town, and I pass one that is sitting in a driveway on my way to work.

For some reason, I never see verts on the road, but they are CONSTANTLY for sale around everywhere.

I just kinda walked into mine after trying to buy a couple other cars, but I can say that I love this car, totally sweet to drive, I haven't seen any around here at all but I have seen a couple of other fcs, too bad most have been falling apart.
