SOLD! 1988 FC RX7 SE -- LT1/T56/8.8 swap

Car is sold, feel free to remove thread if appropriate.

Hey all,
Finally time to admit the end of this project road for me.  It's just not getting the attention or driving it should anymore, and hoping I can find someone to give it that.

Summary --
1988 Mazda RX7 SE.  Less than 2K miles on all mechanical components of a very extensive build (engine, drivetrain, chassis, suspension).
Powertrain swap: LT1 / T56 (1995 Camaro sourced) / Ford 8.8 rear end (Explorer sourced).  One of the cleanest swaps you’ll see, with clean wiring and all systems functional (including heat, A/C, cruise control).  BAR certified and CA smogged.
Mechanical / electrical 10/10 – Everything rebuilt/refreshed and gone through, 100% operational.   Car is mechanically 100% sorted and ready to drive anywhere.
Interior 9.5/10 – Fully refurbished, a crack over the gauge cluster in dash is really the only flaw.
Body – Straight, ready for final prep and paint.  This is the last part of the project I never got to.  I was planning to go with Shadow Silver Metallic (Mazda 3G color code) and engine bay and all jams are painted that color.  Lots of included brand-new extras (moulding, trim, windshield, etc.) for finishing this up.  Or, run it as-is, lots of people love the ratty look.
Too much to list – nothing is untouched.  Full list of extras and mods available on request for serious buyers, ideally in person.
Asking $12,500 but open to negotiate (in person, ideally)

Located in Ventura CA 93003

I have it on FB Marketplace as well, w/photos:
