THIS IS NOT ROTARY POWERED, NOR AIR BAG EQUIPPED. IT IS POWERED BY A 350 TBI CHEVY HOOKED TO A 700R4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. GRANNY'S SPEED SHOP PROVIDED THE ENGINE MOUNT KIT. THE SWAP WAS PROFESSIONALLY SUPERVISED. THE CAR HAS POWER STEERING AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 500 MILES AFTER SWAP AND THEN PARKED IN FAVOR OF FACTORY FIVE COBRA KIT BUILD. THE SPEEDO HAS NOT BEEN HOOKED UP BUT THERE IS A KIT TO CONVERT THE SENDING FROM MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICALLY OR VISE VERSA, I FORGET WHICH. THE TACH HAS NOT BEEN HOOKED UP EITHER. NO AIR CONDITIONING. BATTERY IN THE TRUNK. BOTH FOR SAME REASON, LACK OF ROOM IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE SEATS WERE RECOVERED AND A NEW TOP INSTALLED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE SOME BODY DINGS, AFTER ALL THIS IS A 20 YR OLD CAR. THERE IS A SMALL PUNCTURE HOLE IN THE FRONT BUMPER AND SOME DINGS AROUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE ARE SMALL CRACKS WHERE THE FIBERGLAS HOODSCOOP WAS INSTALLED. (THE HOOD SCOOP WAS NECESSARY BECAUSE I HAD TO USE THE STOCK AIR FILTER FOR SMOG REASONS. OTHERWISE, A LOW PROFILE AIR FILTER WILL CLEAR THE STOCK HOOD.) OVERALL, THIS IS A FINE LOOKING CLASSIC RX7 CONVERTIBLE MADE VERY UNIQUE, AND PERHAPS VERY POWERFUL, BY THE CHEVY. THE CHEVY HAS BEEN MODIFIED WITH AN 50 STATE LEGAL EDEBROCK MANIFOLD AND CAM FOR THE TBI ENGINE. CAR HAS CONVERTIBLE BOOT AND THE JACKET FOR TOP PANEL, BOTH IN GREAT SHAPE. WHEN BUILT IN CALIFORNNIA, EVERY EFFORT WAS MADE TO COMPLY WITH SMOG LAWS. THE ENGINE WAS A REBUILT FROM A 91 FIREBIRD. THE TRANS WAS ALSO OPENED UP AND REBUILT AT THE TIME. HOWEVER, IT WAS NEVER SUBMITTED TO A SMOG REFEREE. I THEREFORE WILL NOT REPRESENT THAT IT CAN BE REGISTERED AND DRIVEN IN CALIFORNIA. I KNOW FOR SURE IT HAS TO PASS A SMOG REFEREE BEFORE CALIFORNIA DMV WILL GIVE YOU PLATES. THIS WAS A LOW MILEAGE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE ACTUAL MILEAGE. AS I SAID, THE REBULT CHEVY HAS ABOUT 500 MILES ON IT.
