LOL. I knew someone was going to make a comment on that. Don't worry, the way it looks now is not how it will look when I am done with it. That said, there is a good chance it won't be TOTALLY black. I have some ideas...that I must bring to reality!

PS - I don't think I have ever seen a black 1st gen Trooper....

Hey Bart- Here's a black one, now you can have both a black and a blue and your legend is preserved!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250401815258

BIG HUGE THANKS

goes out to JAFO for taking the time to swing by the dealership for me and get some details!!!

It is information just like he provided that you simply cannot see from afar!!!

This really helps, and JAFO, I think I am going to keep searching. Those photos you sent and your comments definitely make it sounds like this Troop may have sustained some significant damage. Depending on how things go, I may come back around to this one and offer the dealer a super low price, given your info, and at that point I may ask you to give her a test drive to make sure the frame isn't jacked. But for now, I think I will keep searching!

Again, thanks so much for doing this! This is the reason this forum rules!!!

Bart, Your inbox was full when I replied to your message. I found another Trooper yesterday but I didn't have time to stop. I'll look at it tonight on my way to the RX-7 club meeting in Portland.

Is it a 1st gen (91 or earlier)? If so, let me know the details! And thanks, man! You're the best!!!
