V8 Powered: 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible

"4 SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANS"
Whazat?? , looks at ad
"transmission: automatic"
I know it's petty but I can't get past the hood scoop. There wasn't even a clearance issue
I thought the same thing. Hopefully it's just a stick-on Pep Boys special that is easily removed
Kinda looks like it has a third pedal but surely has a slushbox stick… What the hell!
Always liked this Rx-7 series rag top and love that color yes hood scoop does ruin it a little.
