Exclamation Trying to locate my old car

Hey guys I'm trying to locate my old RX7 I sold years ago. It was a 1984 GSL-SE silver with black doors. Had a 13B 4-port street ported motor with a mikuni 44phh sidedraft carb. Also RB headers to a loud exhaust. Had RB suspension with Tockico Shocks. Also had a built in roll-cage w/6-pt racing harnesses as well. Also a Dino steering wheel as well.

The car was sold in Lakeland, FL. I don't remember the seller. I'm just curious whatever happened to her, don't want to think it ended up in a junkyard just to rot. Thanks again guys.

No sign of it here in Columbia, SC.

At random, I ran into the second owner of my gold '79 in Lowes a few months ago (I'm the 4th owner). Real weird conversation cause I happened to have a front cover in my hands and the PO recognized what it was. He struck up a conversation and when he described his "old car" I knew he was talking about my car.


Keep your eyes open you might find it. Possibly in the hands of a real crazy man walking around lowes with a front cover in his grips.

I hope someone here sees it and recognizes it as a car they bought from you. Realize that a lot of owners eventually find their way to these boards to help them troubleshoot issues, so you have a shot of catching them here. Good luck,

I located the car years ago, but lost track of it. Think they removed the rollcage. Dead giveaway is the dino steering wheel or the lack of rear latch keyhole. When I bought the car the PO had removed the key tumbler so I had it fiberglassed and filled in.
