You know it's abt to be a satisfying 60 seconds when you hear "while at a vehicle auction..." 😂 I get excited every time

Finding and restoring a car like that is actually one of my biggest dreams, and yeah, this face just gets me every single time.

“Who could say no to a face like that.”
The 50, 000 dollar bid.

I had a '79 RX7 when I lived in Japan during the late '80s. It had a rotary engine that I never had a problem with. I freaking loved that car. It was a "no frills" base model that was unmodified but was still pretty quick.

Ah the RX7, its like that one toxic girl/boy who you fall for that ruins your life and makes you go through a canon event

In the early 2000s my buddy Nathen owned a RX7 it was fast as Fok! I owned a 3000Gt Vr4. The RX7 was faster but the AWD would help put the power down… his car exploded one day on our way to Myrtle Beach. He sold it for parts…maybe got $2500 for it. I sold my Mitsubishi. And bought a 1989 Porsche 951 (944 turbo) still have that baby! Still runs flawlessly

This was my first time ever seeing an FD RX7 at an auction! But this one was so bizarre. The random rattle can paint and covered up VIN's were huge red flags to me. But curious to hear what you guys think 🤔



Thanks for stopping by! ✌

In 1995 friend had a brand new one & we went 170mph at night with no lights on! Fast car..

All nto3 wheels come with 2 Valve stems, its a racing focused wheel so you can fill air and simultaneously have a pressure gauge to check air pressure.

[Dynikus]

The 2 valve stems next to each other are so you can check tire pressure while filling up. Some wheels have 2 stems 180 degrees apart so you can fill the tire with pure nitrogen, which is a bit more stable than just air. You bleed one while filling the other.

In Japan it is very common for sellers to just spray paint over rust on cars they know are likely going overseas. From the pictures you cannot see the hidden faults and the car condition rating system doesn't help that much anymore. So its always worth it to get a TRUSTED import company to inspect the car before buying.

Bring it home and take care of it, like a good old car, everything needs love, including cars

“It’s still an FD”
My new favourite quote

[morningstarx]

One of the most beautiful cars ever created.

[lexx_rl]

Dream project car right here..

This blew up. Gotta keep in mind im not even old enough to drive and not even close

[deathbyspeed]

It's a rhd everything can be fixed and just pull that rotary out and swap in either a 5.0 or a K24. Bam you now have a reliable rhd FD. This is honestly a dream find.

I didn’t even know they made those in automatic, definitely a project

[genericexcuse]

Worst case scenario, sell all the good interior parts and stuff, and use the bare chassis as a track car or something.

My all time favourite car. There is one parked at a mechanic I always see on my way to work. Dont know if it runs or not. But it puts a snile on my face everytime I see it.

[denniswylie]

It's really not that bad of condition. If the right person were to redo it. It could be beautiful ❤️❤️
