I picked up a 1984 RX-7 GSL-SE over the weekend for free. It is a very clean car. The interior need a real good cleaning but is perfect otherwise. The exterior has a good size dent in the left front fender, the front bumper is shot, and the clear is gone from the hood and roof. The motor doesn't run but it turns over and looks to be in great shape. I haven't spent much time diagnosing the car. My guess is the car isn't getting fuel. It could be the ECU though. The stereo even works great. It came with a new bosch alternator, new tires (put on 2 years ago right before the car was parked), it also has a new oil cooler line from mazda in the car. It came with the FSM, haynes, Chiltons, and the owners manual. The guy said he bought the car back in 2000 from the original owner for $4000. He said he drove the hell out of it and ended up replacing the motor at one point. He can't remember when he had it done or how many miles ago. He said the a/c compressor probably needs to be replaced.
