    My wife has said that it MUST have a backseat. Hopefully her intentions for that are less than honorable, but I'm assuming it's just so the dog and kid have somewhere to sit...

    I've got a girl I work with who has a 92 or 93 Mustang LX hatch 4-cyl 5-speed for sale for $900 OBO. Needs a little TLC, but could be an AWESOME weekend warrior or DD. SBF engines are a dime a dozen.

    Just so you know, the RX7 came with back seats in Japan, and they are pretty easy to get here.

    Want a project?

    I've got a '67 Corvair convertible. It's been sitting a while, but it ran when parked.

    The fuel tank was rusted out and it needed brakes. Now it also needs a great deal of cleaning up.

    Alright, so this is what I ended up with. Yes, it cost more than $2,000 and no, it's not carbureted, but hey, it was worth it. It's a '78 242DL with a B230T from a 700 Turbo and all kinds of IPD goodies on it. It was built by "Lucky" Arnold who works for IPD. I'm pushing about 14 psi of boost right now and it is awesome! It'll be going up in Readers Rides in a little while with more photos.
