FC RX7

Throwing this out there, but probably won't be ready until Spring. Still if the perfect deal comes along, I might jump on it.

Looking for a FC RX7. I would like a 5 lug, 88+ model (Series 5), but can deal with a good condition Series 4. Engine need not work, or even be in the car for that matter. Same with the transmission. A running car is a plus, but not nessessary.

What I do require:
Good interior, or atleast the pieces there enough for me to repair/fix it.
Little to zero rust, surface is okay, but no rot thru.
Straight body is a plus.

Essentially I am looking for a shell, or a cheap running car that needs work. Colors of Preference is: Black, Blue, Red, White, others.

Turbo II and GTU models a plus, but beggers can't be choosers.

Price: TBA. I'd like to keep the chassis as cheap as possible due to everything else required to go into it. If anyone saw the last project I had (the stealth) they would understand how I am regarding attention to detail and perfection, this will be my "next" long term 5+ year project.

I figured I'd throw this out there as I am not on all the mazda boards and occasionally a really good deal pops up. Got one in your yard collecting dust? Hit me up and we can work something out. I am mechanically savvy, tuning savvy, and handy for house work. I can also pay $$ for a good shell. Projected budget is $0-1000 for a non running car, $2k for a running example.

Thanks for looking.

Let me know what he wants and more specs please. (pictures!) Also what he is looking for $$. I am just throwing this out as a feeler as the earlier I get the chassis, the more space I loose in my garage, so it better be a smokin deal.

Tell me your putting a LSx in it Josh!
:fishing1:

He better put a 2Jz in it! lol
Why would I put a boat anchor in there when I can have so many other viable options asking to be installed easily?

I'm not sure I want to contribute to the delinquency of a rotary. :)

Now, if you're looking 20B...
I know you'd say this. But if the car has a choise of cash for clunkers, graveyard, or a rebirth with different insides, I bet the rx7 chooses rebirth. Think of it as a brain/heart/lung transplant :)

I have an acquaintance that has a shell he might be interested in parting with, I'll have to talk to him this week. Red, southern FC with zero rust, clean interior, and a straight body. Has a blown motor, and they keep talking about putting a new one in, but I've seen it under the tarp in their garage for 4 years now... Only issue is it's not a turbo model (It's a 199(0 or 2) GXL non-turbo model)
