Wow. Thinking $4100 for my 63K 80 GS is not too bad now
This one didn't even have a sunroof, which would have been a real deal breaker for me. Monaz exhaust won't do the new owner any favors either . SA owners with minty cars might want to print this out to show their insurance companies...

Damn, and that one was only an hour away from me. Nice to see that kind of price for a well cared for SA.

 

I sold my 82GS with 67k for 5k and that was alot lower then the old car price guide.
I'm glad the guy got that amount for her.

 

Now that is definitely one SA that was taken care of for its very very low amount of mileage.

 

Holy frijoles! Thats a lot of money, but very nice car!

 

Ya, thats the one I posted when it started. It's very nice. It went for a lot of money.

 

Gotta love it!!!!

We SA owners appreciate it. We are the next collector RX-7 79-80 models....

 

It is a very nice SA esp with the low mileage but i know where a nicer one is that has more documentation granted it has more mileage but for the car WOW even the Senior Mazda execs were impressed with it. BTW it sold on ebay about 6 months back for 5k

Sorry about the shadows it was very late afternoon when i was able to get the pics. Look at that clean clean interior, factory paint, factory radio, look at the engine that is the original engine, build date 6/78 fairly early but many still earlier one of the first 10k cars. Notice the last picture that is how sweet this car is, the part number is still readable on the wiring harness.

Is it for sale again no. it is on display at a Mazda Dealership(same dealer group sold it new) now, It was a one owner car the title even had the dealers name on it. Car is displayed with the original temp tag from sale and original window sticker. When they are done with it, She will come back to my collection but for now it is the perfect bookend to their other Rx7 the very last US 3rd gen.

 

Follow up to previous post

Here is the only flaw in the car and it would have to be an early type to have it happen, look at the speaker grill on the dash.

But look at the rest of the interior. Nearly 100% original only parts needed are 4 Bridgestones and a battery

 

Excellant example of a pristine SA there RD. Not keen on the color combo, but definitely a keeper for a collector who wants an unmolested SA with provenance.

 

I purchased a 84 GSL-SE (23k miles) 18 months ago for $8k. Sold it to but an FB Turbo (which was stolen 6 weeks later). I replaced it with another stock and mint SE (29k miles), this one on ebay, for $8300.

Those prices are about par for SEs... Generally the mint FBs and SAs sell for $4500 to $5500. Getting $8k for a SA is crazy money!

 

i paid 2500 for my fb with 29k miles a couple weeks back

 

You did well! If you want to make a quick $1500 flip it up on ebay.

 

Usually I prefer low mileage cars (I bought my 85GSL 4 years ago with 49k for $1700) but I've had such good luck reviving my 85SE which has 160k that I'm thinking that an SE is worth renovating. Parts are cheap and available. Maybe I'll do another SE.

 

Wow, nice car rotarydude. I want one, .

 

there was a used car lot here that sold a fb with 42k on it for 11 grand. when i talked to the guy he said he would lower it to 10 if i was serious. i kept trying to tell him it really wasnt worth it. i got my fc for 1500 with 70k on it, mint condition to. damn old cars, oh well. someone got a good car outa the deal anyways. its an old lady i think.HAH

 

Car looks to be in great condition and it has low mileage, price doesn't seem bad for the condition.

 

I can't believe people are buying old rx-7's for that kind of money. They're way cheap here. I bought my 3rd one today from the original owner, 138k w/ new motor from mazda, a/c, excellent condition in and out except for dent in quarter panel. Paid $200 for it. The motor was put in at the dealer 6 yrs ago and the lady only put 3800 miles on it since. She wanted a new car and her son bought her a new one. You all have to realize this lady is 80 yrs old and she bought this thing new. It's an 80' model by the way. The other is a V-8 powered rx-7 that I paid $400 that runs and drives but body was a little rough. Then I bought an 84' for $100 that was all there except bad trans. Now the drivetrain out of the 79' v-8 mazda was put in the 84' for the nice body and I have a bunch of parts now and a rolling 79 carcass.

 

Cam you are right i have bought lots of first gens really cheap, in some cases it was haul it off and they run in most cases but these are the exceptions, and the blue one was a big exception I have only scratched the surface of the story on that car it is really deep,

BTW for all the blue car has..................... 75k miles and looks that good

 

I had that same interior in my yellow 79.... but in a blew sa... I think I am going to puke dude. IS that stock?

 

You're trying to compare a pristine well documented low mileage 7 to your parts cars. There is no comparison. Yes, you can pick up some rx7's for that money that need alot of work and every once in awhile you may score. But I have seen those $400 specials, most of the cars I've seen in the wrecking yard were better cared for. It takes a "True" car enthusiast whether it's a 7 or a Chevy to appreciate a "Pristine" low mileage documented automobile.
Oh, and I have seen how you guy's in Texas drive and the condition of the cars.I lived in Texas for 3 years.

 

I know I dont like that color combo either but yes Kory it is stock. I have seen several in that color combo.

 

Tan interior with Blue body was not uncommon back then. In fact Porsche did it. Tan is more of a neutral color to cordinate with as well as most peoples favorite, Black.
