FS: Caged RX8 shell

Dropped to $2500


Paddy and I are selling a really nice RX8 shell that we planned on building. The cage builder copied the Speedsource team design from when they were running a Mazda chassis (they now run a tube frame) and did a very nice job on it. The chassis has also been seam welded and repainted OEM silver on the interior and cage. Rare non-sunroof chassis. OEM seat mounts were cut out and plates welded in. Included is the entire rear subframe, differential and rear suspension less shocks and springs. Also installed is the full chassis wiring harness, one tail light, dash with gauge cluster, steering column with stalks, gas tank with Speedsource baffle and pump, pedals, brake lines/master/booster/ABS pump, clutch master and lines, wiper motor and linkage with cowl cover. We also have a custom dolly for moving the car around on that will be included in the sale. It should be cheap enough to put together considering the low cost of complete running RX8's. No hood, front bumper, headlights or front suspension/subframe. One dent on the bottom of the drivers door and another on top of the drivers front fender. What you see is what you get.

Dropped to $2500 Email is the best point of contact.

Anyone making an LSx kit for these yet? :twisted:

There are two companies in the works of making them, but none currently available. There are a few swaps completed by small shops that don't plan on producing a kit. Hinson, the guy I bought my RX7-LS1 swap kit from says 'oh, next month' every time someone asks about the kit. Its been going on like that for about two years or so.

Looks like a pretty sweet deal for someone willing to do some winter work. Good luck!

Well, I've got a couple old Mustang motors hanging around, and a cast-iron 4 speed, maybe I could throw one of those in... Not like it needs to be "street legal" anyway.

Imagine the look when you open the hood and there's a pushrod V-8 with a carburetor on it :lol:

I'm open to reasonable offers and would prefer this car to go to a COM member.

Here is a start, not familiar with the shop and a little pricey but isn't it all.

I'm very familiar with the shop. I used their parts for my two RX7 LS1 swaps. Hinson is very slow and never delivers on time. But the parts do show up eventually...
