1976 Suzuki RE5 has the Wankel engine and 9734 miles on the odometer.
These were only made in 1975 and 1976, so it's pretty rare. Jay Lemo has one in his collection.
All original except for the seat. The only missing parts as far as I can tell are the gas cap and 2 turn signal lens.
Not running. Engine turns over, but it needs a complete restoration. I have the key.
Plenty of parts and info available on-line. I have the Engine Repair Manual that is included.
I bought it because it was cool and unusual, but it really needs someone who will restore it.

When was this changed? My '88 Trans Am has a 140 MPH speedo. Then again, it was built in Canada...

It was put in place in 1979 and removed in 1981. The NHTSA realized it was a stupid rule. It included highlighting "55" in some manner (like the red hash on that one). Some manufacturers didn't bother to switch back after making that change until the next redesign.

My 87' IROC has a 145 as well, apparently some late 86s could get it. So I'd guess 87' was the first official model year that that limit was gone but not every manufacturer went out and renumbered their speedos right away.

My 87 Mustang was like that. You'll also notice a lot of people selling fox-bodies for X0,000 ORIGINAL MILES! Can't be proven unless you check the carfax and see that in May 1995 it had 94,000 then suddenly in November it only had 1,300.

Not sure why that's gold, especially with no price. It's just a semi-ratty old 911SC convertible (needs paint help, wheel refinishing and likely a lot of deferred maintenance if it was left to look like that). It's probably worth somewhere around $15k. Possibly less by the looks of it. I'd consider this "gold" if it were priced at $9k, or the other kind of "gold" if they thought it was worth north of $25k.

This worked in my favor when i got my 92 Mustang actually. The sales guy thought it had 143k on it. :laugh: Joke's on him though, Carfax had regular records leading right up to the time I bought it showing less than 42k. Of course, the car was in poo poo shape regardless, and the car showed zero oil pressure the entire 15 mile drive home (and who knows how long before that). I thought the gauge was broken. Good news - the gauge was fine! :haw: Bad news: I had to add 3 quarts to get it to the full mark. Good thing the 2.3 was bulletproof I guess.

LOL I just called the number in the ad and it went to voicemail. It said "If you're calling about the craigslist ad this is the wrong number. Can you please email the person that posted the ad and tell them it's a wrong number, my phone's been ringing off the hook. Thanks, this is Eric."

God drat, I knew it was too good to be true.

A few of my buddies like to post Craigslist car ads on Facebook that they find funny. This one is by far the best I've ever seen, do yourself a favor and check this out. Here's a quote taken from the post and all of it is as ridiculous as this.

Craigslist posted:

Now, I'll be honest. The wheels are a little lackluster, although everyones gunna be so focused on your super gangster drifting that nobody is going to give a f*ck about your sh*tty stock 16s. Don't worry, I've got you fcking covered. Its like we're in Vietnam and you just got ambushed by Charlie. Don't worry, friend, I've got your fcking back and I blow charlie to kingdom fcking come. For an extra $450 I can throw in some added p*ssy magnets for wheels, just don't come crawling back to me complaining that you're getting TOO much vajayjay. Bright fcking green 18s. Greens not your thing? Super legit silver 18s. Done like dinner.
