Default Turbo Rotary Swapped Miata for a Cause
Thought I'd post this up because it's pretty cool even if no one is interested in buying it.

Guy was doing a turbo II rotary swap into a miata and passed away before he could finish it. Grassroots motorsports members took up the project and finished it. Car is being sold with funds going into a college fund for the deceased member's daughter.

Here's the link: No Reserve: Turbocharged 13B Rotary-Swapped 1996 Mazda Miata | Bring a Trailer

Not to be insensitive but was this the one that the guy used a scissor jack and the car fell on him?

The original GRM post says he died of cancer.
