1985 Mazda Rx-7 Only 67k Original Miles! on 2040-cars

This car is in great shape. I’ve never seen a cleaner interior on a car this age. No rust, engine pulls strong all the way to redline, it’s a true survivor.

I am the 3^rd owner. My girlfriend (2^nd owner) purchased it from the original owner in May of 2011 with 42k miles. Title transferred to me in October of 2012. I have been using it as a daily driver since, and have used that experience to fix/repair/correct everything that could go wrong on a car of this age.

I have the original paperwork from the sale to the original owner in 1985, as well as the original warranty paperwork (remember when there was a separate warranty for rust-proofing and cruise control?).

When purchased from original owner in 2011, the seller disclosed the following work that had been done to the car:

-Catless exhaust (Mazda)

-Rat-Nest removal

-Air pump removal

-Repainted in 1995 (due to fading)

After purchase, we performed the following:

-Brake master cylinder rebuild

-Sport springs from ReSpeed

-New OEM brass radiator

-New Fuel Pump

In the last 6 months, I have had the following done at the Mazda Dealer. All parts are OEM:

-New (less than 1k miles) Toyo Proxes

-Pioneer entertainment system (CD, DVD, Bluetooth, etc)

-Alternator

-Water Pump

-Starter

-Pulleys (racing) and belts

-Distributer Cap

- Spark Plugs and Wires

-Window Regulator

-Wipers

-Tie Rods

- Ball Joints

-Control Arms

-Sway Bar links

-All steering bushings

-AC Re-charge

-Alignment

-Oil Cooler O-Ring

Some of the pictures are newer than others. The most recent have: Toyo Proxes tires and new radio.

As you can see, I’ve put about $4,500 into it in the past 3 months to get it where it is now. And where it is now is awesome. If I were to keep it, I would likely finish off with fixing the few minor things that remain, which are:

-Repaint the SS trim, as it’s starting to chip/fade. Common to all RX-7 FBs, as they painted over Stainless Steel…..

-Slight play in steering wheel. Again, common with FBs. I’d likely do a rack-pinion conversion if I were to keep it.

-Re-Stretch the vinyl on the door panels. It’s not all that bad, but since the rest of the interior is in like-new condition, it sticks out to me (I’m picky).

-Gas gauge: It works, but it registers 1/4 tank low. So when you fill the tank it shows 3/4 of a tank, and when it shows empty you’ve really got 1/4 tank left. Never really cared enough to fix that.

This car is not perfect, but it is very nice. There are a few minor scratches (mainly on the rear by the hatch latch from putting stuff in and out) as well as a rock chip or two and some barely noticeable tiny dings. Minimal, but I like to disclose these things. Absolutely NO RUST.  And did I mention it drives great? Oil pressure is good, never even comes close to overheating, great engine response.

I’ve had many cars in my life (BMWs, Corvettes, Porsches, etc) and never been complimented as much as when I drive this RX-7. It really is a looker, and a great car.

Sale will include Mazda RX-7 car cover, as well as the original rubber pieces for the side and rear of the car (personally I think it looks better without them). Original Floor Mats in great shape, as well as aftermarket rubber floor mats. I’ll also throw in whatever extra bits I have laying around (spark plugs, Service Manual, etc)

I welcome in-person inspections. I can also refer you to the service manager at Mazda that has performed all recent service.

Clear title, no liens. Prefer local pickup, but can assist with shipping (at buyer’s expense) if needed. Any questions, just ask!
