Rotary 968
Yep. Looks like a Mazda wankel got stuffed in a Cabrio... for whatever logic is beyond me.
Alternatively, you may choose to see this as:
$7k for a nice roller with a free RX7 engine

"Rotary Powered Porsche 968 I had the opportunity to buy a Porsche 968 Cabriolet with nice body and interior, but with no engine or transmission. The price was too good to pass up, even though I really didn't need another project. I had a very nice custom built 4 port 13b, street ported, and a very low mileage RX-7 trans, so I decided to do this conversion. This conversion required some serious fabrication - not for the average backyard mechanic. I would not have attempted this without the help of Sean O'Brien, my fabricator/welder."

At least he tried to salvage one.

I'd take this thing over the 944 batmobile... a 13b sounds great with an open exhaust. Make the most of the open top! It's still pretty clean... beyond the bonnet.
