Might be for sale: 1987 RX7 Hillclimb Especial "Quick and Dirty"

Changing life circumstances makes keeping this car and giving it the attention it deserves a hard task. I've owned the car for 4 years now and it has gone through 4 full evolutions. When I say evolution I mean massive change.

Renting a shop space and continuing to develop the car is just too much. I've spent close to $40k so far. I'd let it go with everything RX7 related I have for $10k. That would include the new CIRO wing uprights and custom carbon fiber wing based on a NACA profile from STOL aircraft.

The car ate it's transmission, and I have a replacement for it.

Video of it from last year: Video

The exterior isn't beautiful - it needs a real paint job and rear flares. Hence the nickname "Quick and Dirty"

The car weighed 2,100lbs wet last year. It has gained a couple pounds with the new fuel cell and cage extensions. It should still be well under 2,200lbs. Last year it went 13.6 in the quarter mile with me having no clue how to drag race and on 4 year old bias play circle track tires.

Car has never had an off or any other serious off-track excursion. Straight as an arrow. It's easily the fastest car in P3 hillclimb class and has even more potential.

Could consider a package deal with my 24' enclosed trailer that was new last year.

I don't really have the words for this. Somewhere in between, "No! How dare you!" and "Yes! I really want this!"

Hummmmm

Lets see how mad my wife gets when I run idea by her.

Trade for a Javelin?

I don't like seeing this at all...

With that being said, how much for the trailer?!

hmmm tail lights I see in pics, license plate I see in pics.... Can it be made street legal ish???

I really enjoyed building that engine I hope it leads to more victories, don't give up!!!!

Is that the carby you bought from me?

If you end up keeping it and need to store it somewhere, I could probably arrange for you to keep it in my sisters barn next to my BMW. Its in Lunenburg. Room for 6 more cars as long as my brother in law stops buying crap from the restore place. First home nesting issues. At one point they had 4 or 5 kitchen table sets. In his defense, the house, the barn, the property are huge.

Sure is!

$8k, but only if the RX7 sells first.

Depends on your state. I have headlights that can go back in it. Would need wipers I think and turn indicators wired in.
