Yesterday I found a 1978 RX7 in the back of a barn under some  tarps.
Rolls of fencing and other stuff  stacked on top.  I was in the barn
for an hour before I realized there might be a car under there. I
learned it had been in the same place for at least seven  years.    I
could not uncover all of the car but  what I could see is in good
shape.  I could not get to the hood release so I did not see the
engine.   Would it be a 12A for that year?  Are modern seals and o
rings available for this engine? I am thinking of  restoring it for a
daily driver.   Of course,  it would be p ported.  Neat thing about
Indiana, you can modify an intake here without going to jail.

  When was the RX7 introduced?  Any reason I should avoid this car?

No doubt about it 12A. The engine is probably rusted inside.
