so, after years of being a member on these forum's, and searching for the perfect TII...i think i have found the perfect FC for me.

its an 87 TII, with 44k miles on it, florida car for the first 40k miles, now in illinois since 5-2008 (4k miles in a year)

anyway's....its MINT!!!!!! inside, outside, under the hood, under the car...it all looks showroom brand new...im not even sure the car has ever been washed, probably just waxed after every drive. no corrosion on any aluminum part's, no rust on any steel part's.

its Satin Gold Metallic, with Maroon interior ...im not a huge fan of the interior color, buts its an 80's car, so whatever...as long as its mint.


is there a thread started anywhere for FC's of this color? seems like a rare color.

i can easily picture this car looking badass lowered with some17x8, 17x9 polished RPF1's, a front lip of some kind, and S5 tail's. my girlfriend cant picture it, and needs help (she knows i build quality car's, and trust's my judgment) but i would like to show her some cars of this color that some of you guys have built.


thanks in advance guy's.

 

got any pics????

 

yeah i have pic's. ill post them if i decide to buy the car this weekend.

i am looking for pic's

 

here are pics of the FC im thinking about buying:











what do you guys think? i think it has potential with just coilovers, wheels/tires. you can see the only 2 dings that are in the car (right in front of the driver door handle)...it has an S5 center console(dont know the difference), tint, corksport rear strut bar, K&N air filter,and some 3" catback single muffler exhaust.

what do you guys think that car is worth?

 

God all that red is an eye sore. Other than that, the body looks do be in good shape.

 

That gold rx-7 just screams "buy me and take care of me" Who ever gets that rx-7 will be in love forever!!!!

 

i am seriously thinking about buying it this weekend.

as far as the red interior....anyone want to trade a mint red interior for a black interior?

 

Beautiful car, my GXL was the same color. Wish I hadn't painted it.

 

wow!! really nice car.im not too fond of the red interior,but if u change it to black,keep those seats...they do seem to be pretty rare,as i havent seen too many that color here in california...

 

what do you guys think the car is worth?

 

id leave the interior, its really clean you can not pass that up!
its low millage, very clean good condition, its worth as much as you would want to give for it, should be worth it for that condition. Looks like it could be a museum piece lol

I wouldnt get it.. its too precious to mod lol <3

 

well...i sold my Acura TL, and have about $13k to spend on my next project car. i was thinking of offering $5800 for the above RX7.

i can always buy a new black carpet set to offset the red interior enough to make it "not so 80's"

 

damn that car is too clean. Where did you find it?

I can't believe i got my car in chicago too.

 

have u tried comparing the blue book value???

 

kbb.com only goes as far as 1989, so i checked a 89 TII with 44,500 miles, the value in excellent condition is:

$5,145 private party
$6,545 retail
$3,800 trade in

i think $5,800 is a fair price

 

some dude in my town is selling it.

hopefully ill be in this at the Suja 1 meet...

 

dude, buy that ****!...and that interior is flawless! so how much is the guy asking for? what other mods other than the obvious has he done to it?

 

damn that is beautiful and well maintained, I imagine under the hood it looks as good and flawless as the rest of the car?

 

its stock except for what you can see, and under the hood is a aluminum Koyo radiator, and a K&N panel filter.

 

your right, everything looks brand new under the hood....no dirt, dust, oil, corrosion on anything. it almost looks like it came out of Mazda's museum or something.

there is a video of the car running....im not sure of that exhaust, but whatever.

 

Wow. That is cleeeeaaan. Exhaust = Corksport? Also, do you have any pics of the engine bay? Nice find.

 

Yeah, you pretty much have to buy a car like that when you find it. A clean, mostly unmolested S4 TII with 44K miles? And it's local to you? How many of those are actually still out there? If you can get it for $5800, I think that's a good buy.

Agreed the red interior is not delightful, but as you said, it is an 80s car. You're preserving a piece of Japanese motoring history. I wouldn't tear it apart myself, but of course, it's your car and you have to be happy with it. Also, live with the S4 tails for a while before you yank 'em. I was all set to put S5 tails on my '88 GTU and now I can't imagine the car without the S4s on there. (If you do decide to get rid of the S4 tails, give me a PM... can always use a set of nice spares.)

 

slap on a racing beat system when you get it, I'm not a fan of the single exhaust on most fc's

 

Looks like everyone's in agreement... The red interior is HIDEOUS. The only way to make it worse if to have it in Leather. Getting in that must be like going down on a fat chick and earning your red wings right after she's done running a marathon... It's laundry day and she's gone commando... And CVS was all outta super absorbent.

Ugh. My first FB's interior was like that.

Seriously, what were they thinking in the 1980's...

Hair metal? I can dig it...
The mullet? Okay, to each his own...

But MAROON car upholstery?

The gold cars are rare because they almost all exclusively came with the red interior and some people had sense enough to not get that.



Though actually, I've seen four of those colored cars... ALL with that nasty crusty scab colored interior.

44K though, I'd jump on that in a heartbeat and do my damnedest to replace that interior with black or even beige...

Fail
