(Still) Wanted: Relatively clean (driver-quality) AW11 MR2 or FB RX-7.
The search continues. I was feeling good about an FB but that fell through; now I’ve got 2 weeks of not-searching to catch up from. Do you know someone (or maybe you yourself are) selling either of the above cars? Please do let me know.
Bonus points if you’re near Ohio/PA since my work travel schedule after this coming week is going to pretty much eliminate any completely-free days (including weekends) until some time mid-June. That sucks, too.

This one looks immaculate, but pricey: https://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/6101545778.html
I’ve been eyeballing this one BAD though. Especially since it has the fuel injected 13b: https://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/6102127092.html
I know it’s not OH/PA border, but it’s not all that far away. I driven from Buffalo to Pittsburgh in a day-trip multiple times. Rochester is about another 45-minutes out.

That 79 is too good for me (also technically an SA not an FB).
The GSL-SE in rochester is tempting (about 4.5 hours from here) though. Those are sort of a double-edge sword - you get the extra 35HP from the EFI 13B over the carb’ed 12A (and a different bolt pattern for the wheels, amongst other things), but it’s also an old fuel injection system (maybe K or L-jetronic?) with many expensive parts that can go bad. A lot of people convert those over to carb. I’ll keep it in mind!

Y u no like the Minnesota cars? They are almost all still available because they were only ones I found searching again.

I’d sell mine for the right price... Which is not exactly cheap ;) (factory 12a-turbo RE-Amemiya sa22c)

I know it’s newer than you want, but someone in one of my Facebook car groups is selling a 1993 MR2 with a turbo motor swapped in:

Yours is awesome, but someone messed up when they built it and put the steering wheel on the wrong side!

I do like them, but I won’t have time to go look at a car in Minnesota until mid June at best with my work travel schedule (which recently changed drastically for the worse)

You want the old old RX-7? The curiosity is afoot...

Well that sucks. I do wish you best of luck with your search. Hopefully they are all still available when you’re able to swing through.
