Used 1985 Mazda RX-7 - $10,000 OBO for sale in Cedar Rapids, IA

1985 Mazda RX-7 For Sale - $10,000 OBO

This is meant to be a local pickup...if you are not in the Eastern Iowa area and need the car transported, it will be your responsibility to set that up. I will cooperate if I can.

I restored this car from 2004 – 2009. Nearly complete ground up restoration (I did not paint the bottom). I did all the engine work, electrical work, and all cleaning and painting other than the body itself...that was done by Complete Automotive in Center Point, Iowa (body work and paint alone cost over $8000). The housings in the original 12B were shot, but the car came with a spare engine...a 13B 6 port. I rebuilt this engine myself and had a machine shop install new bearings. I picked up an Atkins supercharger and stuck a Holley 650 double pumper on it. There is no intercooling so boost is limited, but it's still a very cool setup.

Cruise control quit working a while back...might be just a loose plug on the back of the gauge cluster

I put a lot of time and money into this car and it's a beauty. It's tons of fun to drive, so I hate to sell it, but I just don't drive it much any more. I hope it goes to a good home. I have 4 cars and will be trying to sell two of them.
