Default Free RX-7
Okay guys I have moved to Illinois, the transfer of my spare/spare car is going to cost too much. Therefore, anyone in the DFW area or elsewhere.

Free to good owner, non-running 1988 Mazda RX-7 SE (base)

You pick it up, the only thing I ask is that you ship some personal stuff out of it I might have forgotten.

PLEASE take this car, I dont want to see it go to crusher.

Call me at 214-783-4444

like eyal said, what's wrong with it, if it's fixable in a day or two I'll take it. I'll drive down there and pick it up.

Depends on you level of skill, it will need a motor. Can be done in 3-4 hours with hand tools.

I am in Chicago the car is in Dallas. This is not a car I would travel across country for. I was hoping someone local would take it.

3 hours to swap motors, that is generous, I can do it in less.

Wish I had more rotary experience, with all the cheap JDM motors on ebay.
Go right for the 20b. That'd be so excellent.

matt, i wasn't thinking of shipping. road trips are always fun for a worthy cause. I asked to find out if its something i can fix and drive back. (it isn't, not fast at least)

Matt, if no Rennlisters are interested, you may want to list it on the Improved Touring web site classifieds. The gen II RX-7 is a popular race car.
