1993 Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo 5-Speed Hardtop Clean Title Black/Tan rare find

1993 Mazda RX-7 Base Coupe 2-Door Description

FYI this is a no reserve auction whatever it goes for it goes for, don't care what it ends up at.
Haven't written one of these for awhile, mainly because I don't have time. Got a red male doberman puppy named Copper and he has basically soaked up whatever moment of free time I may have had in the past to get anything done. Love him to death though, i'm going to sneak a picture of him in with completely irrelevant batches of pictures like this wrecked 1993 RX7! I am 30, my senior year of highschool the first fast & furious debuted, and it changed the car scene forever. It went so far it affected the laws against street racing. You can love or hate the movie but you cannot deny the effect it had, and then Initial D had another big effect and here we are. Honestly the car scene has died down alot, and I now feel like the old guys I used to make fun of when I was younger. Talking about light to light racing with a 2-speed transmission and carburetor, I thought they were nuts. But because of the culture surrounding those muscle cars they are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars since all the people old enough to cherish those memories want them, have the money, and the supply is very low by now. Even though the JDM versions of these cars starting to cross the pond with the 25 year rule crossing the early 90's now (I feel old as shit) the USDM versions of these cars are actually rarer in many senses. I have always been a fan of the big 4, the Supra, the 3000GT, the RX7, and sort of the 300zx (the Z32 is a POS comparatively). I have owned every Toyota known to man including about 15 supras, went to college for Toyota T-Ten, a handful of VR4's in both generations, 1x 96 300ZX TT 5-speed that was a total POS, but never a RX7. I think everyone can agree the FD RX7 is one of the best looking and best handling production cars ever made, the design is timeless and could outsell a lot of the garbage cars they make today.
If you want to go fast for cheap by a corvette, no better deal out there (I am so confident in that statement I can say it even though I dont even like them), if you only want to be fast in a straight line buy a mustang, even cheaper than the vette! If you want to be a little different, show you actually have some skill building stuff, and imo look way better, buy one of these. Since we can't all afford Ferraris cars like this are as close as it gets for the majority of us. I don't think I had even touched one of these in person until this car, when you have the option to choose between a 2JZ and a rotary engine only psycopaths choose the rotary engine, there is a reason there are more of these with LS1's than 13B's, there is a reason I am surprised if a 240sx does not have a SR20 or some loon convinced his turbo kit K24 truck engine is superior to a SR20. BUT that honestly makes a stock virgin 13B FD even more attractive to me these days, leave the car the way mazda designed it. If you want a car with a LS1 buy a friggin corvette, you can probably get one cheaper and it is overall a better car out of the box. If you want a car with a 2JZ...............you should probably just swap an Aristo engine into whatever you own because you probably can't afford a MK4 supra, their resale is 4x that of every other 90's japanese car asside from maybe a R34 skyline but nobody goes around swapping RB26 engines into cars for a reason.
Without further delay I bring you to this car. If you want something to put a LS1 or 2JZ in, and you just have to do it to a FD do it to this one, if you want an entire 13B drivetrain for something else here you go, if you just want a FD project in general, here you go. I found this car on the way to my mom's for thanksgiving. I decided to take a different route so I could snag some Fox's pizza (their pepperoni wedgies are made with meth and crack cocaine if you tell them to run them through the oven twice), and I saw this car poking through the tree line in someone's back yard since the foliage had disappeared from the leaves falling. I had to wonder how many other people had noticed this and the people that had, did they know those body lines from a distance? Was it a ford probe? Maybe, from a distance everything could be a ford probe they stole body lines from every japanese car. I had a gut feeling otherwise, so I stopped at the mailbox and left a note with my phone number. Not expecting to receive a call I did no less than 3 hours later. Turns out the guy had actually just listed the car on craigslist no more than an hour before he read my note. I had no intention of starting another project or learning how to build a rotary powered car, but I also feel it is my civic duty to the things I believe in to bring this car back to the light. Turns out it had been sitting in this guys back yard since 2005, that is 11 years ladies.
Basically they bought it from the original owner in 2003 (car is from texas), gave it to their son for his birthday, 2004 fast and furious comes out, 2005 initial D is popular, and the very same year this kid flips the car into a ditch! Just because it is one of the best handling cars ever doesn't fix bad driving. We have all made mistakes, unfortunately in this case it happened to a car it should not have happened to. Interestingly enough they never reported it to insurance because they didn't want their rates to go up, so the car has a clean title. The police reported it, but only reported moderate damage which could equate to a fender or bumper. I pulled the carfax and was surprised to see that it has a clean and clear title. So what I have here is a virgin 81k mile 1993 RX7 Twin Turbo 5-Speed base hardtop black/tan leather with a clean title signed over untouched since 2005. The car literally just sat there covered by a tarp since 2005, last year the tarp blew off and these lazy people didn't do anything about it, why they just now decided to sell it I have no idea but I also don't care. The car is being offered to the entire world (atleast those that have the internet) instead of sitting in a yard (no joke very near a barn but I dont think I can technically call it a barn find). With this car the story was much longer than the description, usually it is the other way around. Read down.
Exterior: It is wrecked. No other way to say it, has a 99' JDM wing everything else is stock, car is a hardtop and the actual roof rails are fine, the rear end of the car is fine, chassis is def repairable if you so choose. The parts missing off the outside are in the passenger seat.
Interior: It is dirty. The drivers side is much better than the passenger side because the glass was busted out of the passenger side and the tarp only did so much. Actually no tears in the drivers seat, all the gauges and such light up if you put battery power to it electronics appear to still work fine.
Mechanical: Mechanically the car should be perfect but since I don't know shit about rotaries other than the fundamentals of how they operate I haven't even tried to spin the engine over, it is as is how it sat since 2005. The 2nd owner reported that it was in perfect mechanical shape when he wrecked it, obviously he was going pretty fast had to be running ok. Car does not come with the M2 performance carbon intake, selling that separate since it is worth north of $500. Car has 81088 miles exactly, was able to get that off the gauges when I put jumper cables on it, undercarriage is in great shape, trans and everything still shifts and operates fine clutch brakes etc, even the e-brake works fine. I have little doubt the engine is in as good of shape as a rotoary can be. The M2 intake is the only mod that was ever done to it as far as I can tell, no boost controller, stock exhaust, etc....
Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
