I've had this for a few years and am looking to part with it now. This is my fourth rotary powered car. They are a unique piece of engineering.

what a clean, beautiful first gen RX-7!
Very sweet. I had one a little older. Wind that puppy up and let her sing. Harsh on fuel when you keep your foot in it. Very nice.
GB,
I've never checked MPG but I would imagine you could really pour the fuel through it if you kept your foot in the Nikki 4 barrel carb! Take care.
you live in Armour?? my old stomping grounds from way back :)
Just really looked at the ad for the first time. Holy crap that thing looks nice!

Hank,
Pictures really don't do this thing justice. It's clean and straight and rust free. Had one door ding in the LF fender when I got it and I had a pdr guy take it out. Not a dent in it.
I've owned a 73 RX-2, and a 79,83,85,87 RX-7. I didn't have one for twenty year but have always searched for one. They were all either too much $ or too far away or roached out. Found this one in SF. I've put less than 200 miles on it in 4 years. I just don't take the time to enjoy it. It sits in a storage unit under cover. Loingrader got me hooked on this darn dual sport stuff and I've got three boys so I thought I'd try to turn it into bikes. Its gonna take the right person who understands the history of the RX-7 and Wankel engine. Thanks for looking! Take care.

Oh yes! I've known Ken forever and am friends with all the guys at Douglas Elec. I'm digging way back into my memory banks but did you have a red sport bike when you were in Armour?
