Upwards of 9k i would assume with everything. But i will double check. Car is super clean, bolt in roll bar, ford 9in??, 5 lug conversion/disk brakes, brand new Mikey Ts on brand new pro stars, and a all new engine with weber setup.. so im guessing above that, just don't know how much.

Well i cannot disclose where its going until i ask the guy. I also can't disclose how much it got sold for. It would make a lot of people angry since everyone's rx3 prices would be going up!! :p

thats your car right? Sorry but after all that bondo work i could not say it was 100% clean or rust free. i mean you used bondo for a reason right?? 18k is a really high offer on that car, should of taken it. Its hard to get another offer like that...But there are people out there that will pay top dollar for sure, i know

And little hint, 18k offer on blue 3 wouldnt of even had me respond to email.

Im going by the pictures you posted. Car is clean NOW. All i meant was that since you had all that body work done to it, the car can't be said its 100% clean. Yes its pretty and well done NOW, but was it before you did all that? Remember rust never goes away, so if you clean it up you have to admit its still there. The 73 blue one had rust, has little dents, but its original. Nothing has been covered up so buyer starts from NEW.

And i know mine has bondo and rust. Never said it didnt. Now when i have it done i can't say it was 100% clean from the start.

Oh and i don't want to make this into an argument anymore.
But i will offer you something, want your car sold fast with good cash LMK. i have connections with some of the PR guys here in USA and in PR. They got cash, thats where blue rx3 went to. I could probably sell it for you fast if your really interested in selling. PM me.

So to skip all BS...

New project not really sure what we gonna do with this one. I would like to make it into a road racer for Auto X and maybe some Time Attacks. It wont be the fastest but it will surely be the coolest and oldest true import.






Im going to be picking it up tomorrow, fuel cell and all aftermarket parts are staying with original buyer. I only wanted original parts, what is left of them.

Following Pics are of cars my friend has.
