Being posted for sale is my pristine 1981 Mazda Rx-7 S with 43. 53 original miles. As third owner this RX-7 has been adult driven and properly maintained in it's stock condition other than the addition of seat covers (to preserve the original black vinyl/velour seats). steering wheel cover. NGK spark plug wires. and shortened black rubber radio antenna mast. This RX-7 is THE nicest I've owned of three and of the dozens I've driven. Previous owners have maintained original paperwork for purchase and service. Window sticker ($9155 dated 12/11/80). purchase agreement. owner's manual. and warranty information document this vehicle's origin. This RX-7 has ALWAYS been garage stored and is RUST-FREE. EXTERIOR: Original Sunrise Red paint in very good condition with under-hood condition extraordinary. There is some “crazing” to the finish on the top of the front bumper – appears to have been clear coated with a protective sealant at some early stage. Finish is not flawless. but I would rate it 9/10. No dings greater than 1 inch. Front lip under bumper has chips but they are quite minor. the lip in unbent. Absolutely NO RUST anywhere on the body! Original dealer license plate frame has been pulled. but will accompany vehicle. INTERIOR: All black interior (seats as noted above in perfect condition) is exceptional – 9. 4/10 there. NO hint of dash/headliner cracks; all knobs perfect and have factory new look lettering (including numbers/R on the shift knob. ) Hatch has luggage tie down and houses unused spare tyre. original jack. and spanner in original cloth bag. Quartz clock keeps perfect time. Blue tinted glass – all perfect. Dual storage bins behind front seats. Carpets show no wear. always had floor mat covers. Has two sets of original keys. ENGINE: Excellent running with recent tune-up (filters. gnition. and plugs) & new NGK plug wires. New battery last summer. Exhaust system quiet and is “bone-stock”. Fitted with rare cold weather starting option - sprays anti-freeze into fuel mixture!!! DRIVE-TRAIN: 5-speed transmission shifts effortlessly (no grinding or catching). clutch is tight. Brakes are solid. including tight emergency handbrake. Tires are fairly new Primewell 165/80 13 (wouldn't have been my first choice. but. ) with 10s of thousands of miles left on them. Wheels are stock steel units with unblemished original condition chrome trim rings. EXTRAS: >The current black/red front seat covers & matching steering wheel cover & seat belt cushions; front vinyl bra cover (never really used – thankfully!) >Period correct rear hatch louver cover (from another RX-7) >Period correct ski rack (also from another RX-7) >Front and rear sway bar mounts; front front sway bar link set >New water pump with gasket/thermostat and both belts >One repair manual will accompany this RX-7 – additional videos. digital guides can be negotiated. I believe I have priced this well-preserved RX-7 fairly and these under-priced and under-appreciated rotary engined sports cars will only appreciate. I am an RX-7 club member and post as haringmp. For full price I will deliver within a 200 mile radius of its storage. Beyond that purchaser bears full responsibility to pick-up/transport. As with most 30+ year old autos this is being sold in as is condition with no warranty and a new return policy once payment and paperwork has been completed. Cashiers check or certified bank check only – Paypal too costly for both of us. I'm afraid! If you have a low eBay feedback rating. please communicate with my regarding your bids before auction closing.
