Steve W - really nice work. I just noticed the subtle cowl hood that was added. What intake is that?
ReplyDeleteThe lightweight rx mixed with the new power must make for a wild ride. It must haul a$$
Hope it goes to a deserving new owner.

DeleteThe prices of early first-gen RX-7s in really clean condition are getting near 5-figure territory now. I don't think non-originality is a problem within the RX-7 community. With the level of work this one has had, I don't think the asking price is too out of line. More a matter of finding the right buyer. It'll happen.
Deletecool thanks
DeleteIs this a super early car ? I thought 1979 was first year for RX-7 in the US. I just don't see the value not trying to beat up on seller i wish you best of luck with your sale.
ReplyDeleteApril 1978 in the first production numbers
DeleteHere is an 85 rx-7 chevy V-8 for 8k not the exact car but price is about half of feature car do your home work is all i say again wish you the best with selling it.

Still, the silver car listed above is more interesting (to me personally). Maybe not a better deal, but a 1978 with low miles and a FI 302 is more unique than a 1985 with high miles and a carb'd GM 350. Yes, there's a difference in price, but there's also a difference in vehicles and I would bet the '78 will hold value better over time. Sounds like this seller is open to considering offers. Either way, I'm not losing sleep over it because I'm not in the market for one of these. I'm saving my dough for a fleet of Suzuki X-90s.
Deletetrue its not the same car.be it a nice car it's worth 8 grand it is a track car no interior sound system hell i have 3 grand in sound and interior and it is fuel injected reliability.not the same caliber.
DeleteThere is a picture of the interior in the lower post's (I believe) not the stripped car before being finished. Yes FI is nice.
