Corbin Goodwin’s Homebuilt RX-7 Rat Rod

This battered Mazda RX-7 may look like a Mad Max prop car, but it is actually a DIY rat rod built by 21-year old Corbin Goodwin of Los Angeles. Goodwin spent two years and $13,000 customizing the car in his parents driveway (he describes the build process over at RX7Club.com). The car has a monstrous Ford V8 wedged under the hood, as well as a host of improvised modifications including a wooden front spoiler. Matt Farah of Drive took the car for a test drive found it both quick and “sketchy.” Goodwin has reportedly sold the car to a San Francisco buyer for $10,000 in order to finance another DIY car project.
