Chime in when you get a chance I'm FD3s4e - http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=525021

An RX-7 with 19K original miles!!!! Wow, that's almost fresh outta the showroom. $29,500 for an original, numbers-matching 3rd-gen. with that little mileage is a fair price. Do you have any other info. on the car? What color was it? What year+model (R1, R2, Spirit-R,etc.)?

Re: supra or 3000gt

I'm pretty sure it was an R2. There is only one true spirit I know of in the states that's in texas other wise they are non-existant or conversion mach ups.

What color R2?


I wonder what the pearly-white p.e.p. car (the only one in existense) would sell for if it is ever found again.

The R2 would have sold for more than $29,500 if it were silverstone (there were 83 made in '94, and only 16 made in '95).

Re: supra or 3000gt

^Yeah, vintage-red is the most common color for 3rd-gens, but I think it's the best looking; it's such a rich, seductive red.

Yes, It's not to flat but not to shiney either. The car has the shape for it as well.
