Car has been relisted because of buyer didn't pay. If you are not willing to pay or do not have the money please do not bid on this car. It is a waste of time and money and your record will be hurt. This is the one in a lifetimeopportunityto collect a very low miles FD3, hy this car is collectible? I could start with the exciting rotary engine that expert tuners can extract 500hp without even opening the engine and Mazda stopped making rotary engines, ut this was the last rotary twin turbo design for sure. If you are looking for collecting a car or you want to prepare a car for auto shows, his is the perfect one with the huge aftermarket parts available in the market, ponsors and tuners that the sky is the limit. This particular FD3 is not just a rare car, t is more collectible because this base model, azda made only 72 each on this color, aking it even more rare than the "R1" version. The R1 version came available in mica yellow, ed and black colors. This model is similar to the lighter weight R1 because it has two oil coolers and it didn't come with the rear wiper, ear Bose (heavy) speaker and sunroof. The rotaryenthusiasts know better the details of the R1 but the rarest color of the R1 was mica yellow and Mazda made 350 of those. I got another Mazda RX-7 which I am installing a wide body kit, o I don't need this one. I actually don't have the time or space for this one because I just bought a Porsche 930 which is as rare as RX-7's.Selling under retail price because of the salvage title!! The NADAhighretail price is $20,000. Everything original OEM. The radiator is the thicker polished all aluminum racing 3 cores aftermarket to make this car more reliable and run cooler (picture included of intercooler disconnected from bracket so you can see the radiator). On top of that the radiator hoses were replaced by blue silicone 3-Ply Nylon high performance and the thermostat was replaced with a temperature switch. Solid body... No rust!These cars are going for over $25,000 in ebay with even with more miles than this one!! The price of the RX-7 is increasing by the minute!! This is a good investment so you could sell this beauty even higher price in the future and make money.The car looks, ounds and feels like a 53k miles car. The power windows, ruise control and everything else work like they are supposed to. It runs straight like a railcar. The most impressive parts of this particular car is the interiors. The people who own FD3's know that is very hard top find one with the plastics in the doors and center console intact (without cracks). This one has pretty nice interiors, nd the leather is not ripped on the seats. New windshield and new battery. The car has salvage title because it had an accident, t was sold in the auctions by insurance company and then it was repaired.Once you register the car the title is going to show"Rebuilt". The car could be converted to standard transmission. I did it myself to my other FD3,but to do so there are some major steps:1) Change engine and transmission (they sell them from $1,500 to $2,000 in ebay with the ECU and harness. Make sure there is nothing cut off!2) Change ECU and engine harness (could accomplish it on step 1 all together)3) Change the brake andclutchpedal assembly (no need to cut or weld nothing). It is a bolt on application unless you buy aftermarket or you adapt form older RX-74) Recommended to replace dash harness and cluster gauges if you are not a wiring expert (I'm not an wiring expert so I did it).5) Install a clutch pump and line - bolt on - the hole is there for the pump, ou just need to remove a cap. The clutch slave is supposed to come with the std. transmission.6) Then you can keep your engine as spare and or sell both engine and transy torecuperate from the investment. At the end when you sell the parts the investment is not that much ;)I have a GT Concept Duraflex full body kit as shown in last picture that I could sell for an additional $300 of the auction price. The bumper lights are not included in the kit. They will be in a separate auction.The bad: The pop up lights need more work, he driver side is not going up/down and I don't know why ... it should be an easy wiring or fuse issue and it has a spider crack on the lower corner that is so small that you can't tell in pictures. It is missing the passenger front side marker (available in ebay for $36) and the front passenger signal light is cracked (cheap to find in ebay too). I got the fixed slick carbon fiber headlights in my other RX-7 (looks better, recommend to do the same to this one). The car is sold AS IS in Houston, X. It is offered locally for sale, o I reserve the right to stop the auction if the buyer reaches my asking price locally. You are welcome to test drive the car. The engine has good compression and the transmission shifts like it should do, no slipping or kicking). See pics of tachometer (RPM) with engine running...no check engine light. I Just came back in town and the car is hard to start .? I don't know what is going on, thought the cooling system was OK but apparently is leaking. The shipping is not included, ou need to get your own transport company, could help in the loading stage to take videos and pics. The car has no registration sticker. Title in hand. NO RESERVE !! Good Luck!! Happy Bidding!!
