10th Anniversary FC RX7 with Ford 5.0L V-8 swap

FOR SALE $7900 or best offer

This car was bought as an abandoned project and had the V-8 swap performed to enter the Grassroots Motorsports (GRM) $2004 challenge in 2004. The builders returned in 2005 to take the overall win at that event. We then bought it and used it at autocrosses and track days before being put away for several years.

The build was done very well, but on a budget, so work was put into updating the cooling system, doing maintenance, installing a new stereo, and hooking the heat up again. It’s ready for daily driver / track day use!
