I think that there is absolutely zero doubt that you'd need to spend money like a drunken sailor who has made port for the first time in six months in order to keep one properly.
That's the fear. I've always wanted an RX-7 (FC or FD) but I'd imagine they're all absolutely wrecked as they weren't terribly expensive for a long time (still not too bad now but I suspect that's because they are all wrecked).
Yep, total money pit. They had little or no rust protection from new, and while the rotary engines don't entirely deserve their reputation for unreliability it'd be a rare one that won't need some rotor tip work at some point. Beautiful cars though, and an LSx engine can be squeezed into them.
