You know me Carlos, I'm a good Democrat.

I never leave home and I sleep with a mask on.

Come on down, I'm cleaning out the shed!

Hey Tommy, your SE ought to be worth better than 10 grand by now.

Maybe $12,000 with some sheepskins like Greg the Younger's got in his GS.



But you gotta drive it once in awhile to keep the grease loose.

Are you up for an "All 1st gen Mountain Drive"?

Those were the days James, when you could pick up a decent 1st gen for less than $1000.

I paid $700 for my LE 3 years ago.

I installed a fresh 12A, upgraded the brakes and suspension and added RB exhaust.

Probably a 12K car at this point and worth every penny.

And not for sale. Too much fun to live without.

Awesome!
Matching burgundy interior, (carpet, panels, shift ****, sun visors, etc. Left silver fender. Under the bumper black grill! I could use some better tail light but that is not a must. Also some original wheel!

Will be getting the burgundy interior from Ray in a couple of weeks if you still interested in the gray interior let me know. Anyhow, you can come and get it after I get it out. Let me know!

Got it, I'll collect the stuff and take pics for you. Do you have a pair of seat rails? The LE seats don't have rails.

Just did the NADA prices on my 80 SA


MSRP $8,795
LOW $5,275
AVERAGE $12,400
HIGH $20,800

Based on what we have seen on BringATrailer lately, I think this is accurate.

I'm sittin on a gold mine. I think it may be time to invest in a respray and have some sheetmetal fixed up. Also need to get some classic car insurance.

I have Grundy collectors insurance on my RX7s, it is significantly cheaper than our regular insurance company, around $120/year for every $10k in agreed value and a $0 deductible. There are some other perks too, if I ever had to use them (towing, trip interruption, spare parts coverage)

Brett does that insurance include liability (like is required by the State of GA), or just compensation for a loss?

It's bodily injury/property damage liability plus comprehensive and collision coverage. Like full coverage insurance you'd have on any other car, just with an agreed upon value for the vehicle and driving restrictions (not to be driven as a daily, garage parked, only me and my wife are covered, etc). I've (thankfully) never made a claim so can't say how that process is, but from what I researched prior to going with Grundy, it didn't seem like they'd royally screwed anyone. That burn up FB I bought in November was insured through Hagerty, Fred seemed to have a good experience with them. I went with Grundy because they were a little cheaper and had less usage restrictions. My FC is probably comparable to your FB, I pay about $180 a year for it with a $15K agreed value.

No way an FC is worth the same as an FB.

Hey Crit. I don't know if you still work at Meggitt Training Systems, but Bullseye in Lawrenceville just re-did their range and put in their targets. Very nice.

Thanks Brett. Do you deal with a local agent, of just thru the internet?

If I remember correctly, I called them to get the quote started, then they emailed me forms to fill out and email back. I had to send them a few photos of each car too.

I do, and we were glad to have a local range with our hardware. If you spend some time on the range, let me know what you think.
