You gotta love eBay for the things you find, or in this case, what our reader “Mitch†found; a third generation 1993 Mazda RX-7 equipped with a 1987 Buick Grand National 4.1-litre V6 engine! Before you start knocking your head on the wall and although personally we wouldn't attempt an engine swap on a RX-7, this is not your everyday Buick V6 powertrain. According to the seller, the V6 engine was heavily modified including the addition of Turbonetics 70 MM turbo pushing output to 621HP at 25psi on the dyno. And that’s not all; power is delivered to the road via a Dodge Viper derived, Dana 44-4 Hydra-Lok speed-sensing limited-slip differential. -Continued after the jump

One of the 547 Buick GNX muscle cars that GM built in 1987 has been listed for sale by a Las Vegas dealer. Cleverly described by C&D in its days as "Darth Vader's Ride", the GNX is a rare gem, even more so if it has a mere 5,000 miles...
- Nissan Skyline Gt-r Replica Built On Acura Legend
We've yet to find a more irrational clone of the Nissan Skyline GT-R than this one that was based on a BMW 3-Series E36 Coupe, but we reckon today's eBay finding comes pretty close. Built upon a second-generation 1994 Acura Legend (most likely...

Mazda RX-7 With A Buick Grand National V6 Engine!

The current price on eBay is $16,000 or about 11,900 euros.
Thanks to Mitch for the tip!
