Anyone recognize this FD?

Post up any Craigslist, Ebay, or any link to a good deal we might be interested in!

scam for sure... They are using a graphic instead of text for the details so that it's easier to repost and CL won't recognize the text as a repeat entry since it's an image...

Basically anything that is a really really good deal is a scam, that why things have 'true market value'

You could always contact them and say you are in Pueblo and want to see the car lol. But I'm betting scam as well. Not to mention $5500 seems to be what all scammers want for their super nice FDs. I believe that was the price of the ones I looked at when I first started looking. Turned out there were in Romania, Italy or England. Yeah right.

FWIW Mark Mauro at Autohaus http://autohausboulder.com/ in Boulder is a very proficient rotary mechanic.
He built redfast http://rmsolo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9192&highlight=rx-7 and there are a couple RX-8s still in the family.

Your points are well taken about living close to the mechanic and parts scarcity though.

Hmmm, I guess I should have waited to flag them as spam until you guys looked at them first. LOL Didn't even think of that. They were both scams anyway, so you're not missing out on anything haha.
