> the owner is not necessarly the listing agent. the lister is a antique car shop here in the dallas area .
> The car as i understand it was aquired by the owner through some sort of trade deal involving something like real estate or other property . So not that i am an expert on the whole deal involving the car , i do not believe that the current owner has what you believe invested in it . The current owner is a mazda rotary spec RX7 racer and that is how i got involved since , i race formula atlantics and build and run 13b motors as well as cosworths and such mainly with motec and electromotive efi systems so friends of friends of friends sent him my way . He is a pretty good guy , but his wife hates his cars.

Anyone recall what the bidding reached, although I appreciate that may not be an indication as with reserve auctions their are way too many people with time on their hands that play games of seeing who can bid it up to $1 under reserve, with no intent of every going over reserve.

>> I know this car , and the owner . the car is emaculate but has had some issues with efi mapping in the past specifically in the lower rpm and intermediate transition to boost area.
>> In addition a rocker arm support(stud) on one side of the motor broke and was repaired, that is how i know the car as the owner had me look at it to estimate what was wrong a couple of years ago.
>> Great car for someone who has some green to drop because i don't think it will go much below 40k .
