?'s for the RX-7 experts
 
so i've been thinking about getting a project car for a while now even though i have nowhere to keep it and the wifey to be will probably rip me a new one. i came across this on autotrader this morning. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...sp=y&cardist=0 i haven't seen the car yet and know nothing about it and was hoping you guys could give some advice.

It's kinda hard to say with that little bit of info provided. "7 records found in out database"...?
Here's a few questions I'd ask the seller:
What model RX-7 is it? GTU? GXL? (in '88 Mazda offered the rarest of all FCs: the GTUs model that was basically a TurboII with an NA engine...bigger brakes, sportier suspension, LSD, etc. Maybe you'll get lucky!)
Pics?
I notice it's located in PA; How bad's the rust?
Been sitting?

Here's a helpful linky:

Good luck. The FC is an absolute blast to drive...especially with a 5-speed :shift:

"1988 Mazda RX-7 2+2 GXL
2 door Hatchback, RWD, 1.3Liter "

i would go take it for a test drive.

My Mom has a GTU....it is one hell of a nasty car!

yeah the only thing i don't like about it right now is that its an automatic. i think as long as it doesn't rain my friend and i are going to go look at it.
