Auto Correct Spell Check foiled him again!

He must have been googling RX7's for his next project.

I had no idea that there were more than one of these in MA.

Paging Mazdax605... You already have a green one, get the red one for double Xmas Power!!!

What do you think Chris? Should I buy it and throw in a Rover V8 and 5 speed?

Ben said this before, and I agree, needs more F2T.

Holy berkeley my brain was ready to explode trying to talk with the seller. Pretty sure english isn't his first language. Said I could have it for $1500, just trying to get the address, but that wasn;t working so well, and he had to go. I will try again later.

Doesn't look like there's a motor in it. Not like you could really "ruin" it further.

When you buy something that doesn't have a motor in it, you put an F2T in its place.

Not when I have a couple of magic spinning triangle motors in the garage. He doesn't have the hood, or sunroof. the roof is probably not that big of a deal, but the hood is a tough one. Looks like the battery door is missing as well as one of the trim rings, and lenses for the tail lights. The lens is no big deal as Mazda has them again in stock, but the trim is pure unobtanium.

Edit:

Also just noticed dual exhaust on it. This may have had a V8 in it at some point already. A shame really, but still seems like a good deal.

If you are going to keep playing with rotary powered vehicles, you had better learn up on yo spanish.

Lawrence is full of non-english-speaking rotary guys. Supposedly you can get good engine builds on the cheap up there if you're willing to deal with them.

the hood is leaning against the pool in one of the pics.

EDIT: sorry, that is not the REPU hood leaning against the pool , this is one:

No, when you're junking a car that doesn't have a motor in it, you put an F2T in its place. Boat anchors add scrap value

That is not a REPU hood. I am not sure of many things but this one I am positive on. A REPU hood looks a lot different than that.

If you are going to swap a piston motor into something, get the piston powered version of this truck. Don't mess with a REPU. Please!

However, I have no problem with piston powered RX7s. There are a bazillion of them around.
