WTT: 1991 Mazda RX-7 for gen1 or gen2 B12

[makenzie71]

Year: 1991
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-7
Price: $1600
Mileage: 113000
Color: red

Car is located in Lubbock, TX.  I am looking for a 1200...either will trade it or use the sale to buy it.
 
Red/Black.  Power windows.  Sunroof.  5spd transmission.

The car is mechanically sound.  Starts every time.  I have done the following less than 1000 miles ago:

Oil change
Tranny service
Rear end service
Fuel filter
Bake fluid flush
Clutch fluid flush
Power steering system flush
Cooling system flush
4-piston TII brakes up front
16X7 Speedline wheels, NEW 225/50 Capitol tires
Drop-in Uni-Mesh universal filter element

The engine was allegedly changed at 90k by a local shop.  I have a  receipt for the work, but the shop is no longer in business.  They  screwed up the passenger side motor mounts, though, and I was forced to  drill the holes out a size bigger to repair the damage.

The nasty:

Front bumper is cracked
Passenger side fender is damaged at front
~I have rolled the fender back out and braced the bumper to where it's at least intact, but still tacky
Passenger side mirror is gone (replaced both mirrors with generic pieces, still have stock driver's)
Paint is faded and peeling here and there
Driver's seat bolster is torn...badly...duct taped together
Dash was cracked so badly that it was disintegrating...had to strip most of the vinyl off
^Dash vents and idiot light surround were too far deteriorated to save
Window motors are functional but weak
Some tinting glue is still on the hatch (no tint all around)
Cruise control does not work
Tachometer does not work
Oil pressure gauge does not work (needs sending unit...I have confirmed this)
She will need a front end alignment
One of the tail lights has been damaged...PO tried to separate lens for whatever reason
No radio, but has harness adapter
AC compressor is locked up...but the system is clean and solid

The misc. decent stuff:

Steering is tight
Suspension is tight
Exhaust is stock, intact
NO RUST!
Clear Texas Title!

The picture of the engine bay is incomplete.  There is a fan and shroud for the motor and they are typically run.  They were not installed for the picture as I had them out to do some cleaning and maintenance.

The wires dangling under the driver's side dash are for an aftermarket oil pressure sensor.  I have it there to check oil pressure on occasion, but have intended to replace the stock sender eventually so that the stock gauge can be used.

In my opinion, the dash is the worst part of the car.  I have not had the time to hunt down a replacement locally.  I can usually find them online but can not really afford shipping one, personally.  If the buyer would like to cover the expense, or can source a replacement dash on their own, I will gladly do the work to replace it for free...if you haven't done it before, it can be a tricky process.

This is my fifth 2nd Generation RX-7 and it has been one of my favorites to drive.  I had big plans for her but am selling now due being provided with company-funded transportation...and I believe that all my spare driving time will be spent toting the family around in the family car, or on my bike.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks again

I'm sure there's flaws I'm forgetting...I'm sure a lot of them can be picked out from the pictures.  The point is that she's not a pretty car...she could be with a good bit of effort, but not at that moment.  Runs like a top, though.

Please forgive the dust...didn't have much time for cleaning.
