Saw the ad in the local trader. 1988 Mazda RX-7 turbo, not running.



Turns out the car is an old autocross dog. The body was actually pretty good. No dents, few scratches, little faded on top. Blue-gray-silver color. Looked like the original paint job. The interior was ratted up a bit, and I thought all TII's had leather seats??? This one's cloth, but someone may have worn out the leather and replaced them. Motor blown, presume apex seal, 136,000 showing. It had a downpipe, wrapped with insulation, stock TID, FCD, K & N filter, new stock clutch, and some kind of spark/fuel computer.



It wasn't pretty enough to justify buying it just to put a motor in it and sell it. I'd buy it for an all-out drag car, but with a baby on the way I don't have the money, and I soon won't have the time to mess with it.



Anybody interested? The car is in Richmond, VA, just off Route 60 on the south side.

 

How much?

 

He's pretty sure he can get $1500 for it. He says he's had a lot of calls from out of state. He bought it at auction about a year ago and lost interest, so it's probably just been sitting.

 

leather is an option on a t2

Makes me feel very lucky to have found my car in the condition it was. The interior is, shall we say, SPLENDID!
