At one point, SCCA Improved Touring S competition was a big deal: Datsun 240Z vs. 13B-powered Mazda RX-7. We were there in the trenches with you all.
An opportunity to relive some of those glory days? We just spied this ITS-class Mazda RX-7 on Facebook Marketplace.
It’s in Sarasota, Florida, and might need a bit of work before returning to the track.
Find this Mazda RX-7 race car for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $3000.
I wonder if the family of raccoons who live in that car have bothered to get their regional licenses.
*sees first picture* Well at least it's been sitting on a trailer not in the weeds
*sees second picture* Oh
And I’d love to see this car’s logbook. The stickers says it’s from the Southeast, and we had some powerhouse shops down here, including Speedsource. Wonder who built this one, and I’m guessing JG and I saw it race somewhere.
That car is eligible for vintage racing, isn't it?
Would be some work to rehab it, but with logbook and history, it should be an easy in. And given the platform's history in racing, it should be a reasonable car to vintage race in terms of cost, right?
I wouldn't touch that car for more than $500. At least you could get most of your money back in scrap value if it turns out the rust runs too deep.
In reply to alfadriver :
Yeah, I think some historic groups would accept it. Maybe not Goodwood but HSR.
