I just joined the group, I've had my RX-7 for 37 years. Love this car, I'm going to let go of it this summer, and I want to move it on to an RX-7 person who will appreciate it. I'm hoping this group will help me find that individual.

Welcome! Share a picture of you car, and maybe a little backstory on it.

I bought the car in early May of 1987, in California, I had a great Mechanic there who only worked on RX-7s, and he also raced them. Now in Lake Placid I take it off the road at the first hint of snow and stays there until the salt has been cleaned off the roads. It's a short season here.The car has been very well cared for, it's just time. The car has been garaged . It gets great milage , it's suppose to get 17 in the city and 22 on the highway , Ive always gotten better then 22 in town and 27 on the highway. I redid the seats prior to my move to the east coast and they look like new. The engine is pretty clean. I uploaded a photo we will see if it shows up. Photo didn't upload, however it is red with grey interior . The Milage is 135,855

Welcome to the forum! The car sounds very nice! I would love to see pictures of it if you are able to get them uploaded. Feel free to shoot me a message if you are having trouble getting the pictures to load.

This looks very nice so far. Is that a factory aero kit? If it is, that might explain the better gas milage. The factory kit reduces air drag on the car. It is isn't a trivial amount either, from what I have read.

Welcome aboard, @Wildcat Artist! Wow, 37 years of love for this RX-7 ❤️ That's a true testament to what a special car it must be.

Hi Jeff. honestly I don't remember, I had decided I wanted a manual red Rx 7 and i remember my first drive in it, and that sticks in my mind every time i drive the car, I love the way it handles in the curves. I read what I could find on the package and it could be. At any rate that milage was quite ahead of it's time.

It's one of the reason's I reached out to this group, I really want to sell this car to someone who appreciates the RX 7

That's a beautiful RX-7! It appears to be an 86 Sport model given the aero pieces and the GXL style wheels. A very nice car indeed! This is a good place to sell your car, but you'll have to be patient here.

I'd be interested if you weren't on the other side of the country from me. Looks like a nicely cared for car. Best of luck with finding a buyer!

Wildcat Artist

Thank you, You are right regarding it being the 86 Sport model. I thought it might be a good place as it certainly is a knowledgeable group who are into the RX7. I too note of the need to be patient and I am curious regarding that and could use insight.

Wildcat Artist

I get that, as the car started in California and I shipped it here. It was better on the coast or at least in a more temperate climate with less snow. If you know anyone who would be interested I'd appreciate you passing it on.
