The RX-7 Mazda is powered by a 275-hp rotary engine that can rev up to 10,000 rpm. Back when it was new, this car could reach a top speed of almost 249km/h (155 mph).
And it only took about five seconds to get to 60 mph from a standstill.
A YouTuber discovered this Mazda, WD Detailing, he said this is a “rare barn find.”
The YouTuber decided to restore it, and they started by washing the car. Upon inspection, they discovered a lot of dead mice and, curiously, ammunition inside the glovebox. They also found a bunch of useful documents in the glove box.
That’s good news because being able to provide extensive documentation increases the value of a car.

Similar models of it with a lot more miles were $60,000 to $70,000.
Considering the car’s mileage and current condition, the price will range between $90,000 to $100,000.
