1993 Mazda RX-7 R1 Coupe 2-Door 1.3L

I am relisting the R1. Deadbeat from Puerto Rico snuck in last minute bid and now has not paid offering lame excuse he wanted a relative in Ct to come see it. Car is sold as is. No returns no bullshipers. Pay up because money talks and b/s walks. Don't waste my time. Call me with questions or come see it in person FIRST!!!! Stop dreaming you have money when you can't pay for it. back to listing; my BlACK 1993 Mazda RX7. its the R1 is for sale if you know about these cars the R1 is the lightweight version and very rare. They only made 638 R1 in Black. I also have a CMY R1 that's not for sale as I just put a motor in it and I have been driving it more than this black one and why it's for sale. The black R1 pictured and described is unmodified since new. I owned it since 2006. bought it from my longtime friend who owned it a long time prior. I have put about 17k miles on it. always in summer months and have had no issues with it. The car runs good. shifts smoothly. turbos seem ok. nbsp;power windows work ok. both mirrors are original and work. The exhaust is totally stock. So is the intake. turbos and intercooler. no blow off valves. no cat back. no extra gauges no extra add-ons no mods. Nothing has been touched under it even and its mechanicals appear to me to be all original and stock. I have not driven it in much this year but I pulled it out of storage last ugust and it started right up. I had listed it on eBay but it did not hit reserve in fall. It's back for sale this week after a bs guy didn't pay me again. I parked it insude my garage all winter and it's pretty much as it was when I took the pics. Airbag light came on last fall and has not shut off. I do not know why but maybe because battery was low it threw a fault. It has a black interior. seats are the right R1 in velour. correct aluminum hood. Stock original engine and rear strut reinforcement bars are on it. I think this is a good RX7 and its rarity is even better. I rarely see any other third gen cars. Whenever I stop it draws a crowd of guys who like it and know its rare and are always asking questions about it. It always gets a thumbs up in traffic. And its fast as balls if you want to run it hard. My R1 is best for the purist who can live with a few things it needs and fix its faults as he has time. I will list to the best of my knowledge the things that it needs and some history I know of it. If you want a flawless R1 third gen it's not it. I had it painted couple years ago due to age chips scuff etc and my painter lost a few things for it. nbsp;he did a decent job but got sick and couldn't finish it up. Its not going to win any major car shows but it looks pretty good for a daily driver. The windshield guy cracked the windshield when he was putting the seal on it and the molding itself for the windshield gasket is not there. So it needs a new w/s and a fresh seal. I never put the rear view mirror back on it as the windshield cracked and it is there and is included. You can see the crack in driver side by the lower dash area. Its traveled a few inches in last couple years. The Original Wheels are ok BUT one or two must be out of round or bent. maybe bent from our lousy roads in PA (can you say we needed a real governor and Pa has lousy roads? Anyway it feels out of balance and there is a vibration in car at speed which I am certain is wheel balance issue or from a bent alloy. Driver door scuff molding is missing. driver upper trim on outside of door was lost. used ones on evil bay for about 70 bucks. I think you can still buy it new though from Mazda. the driver fender air vent is not there. they are usually on ebay for 40 bucks. and gas filler door I cracked putting gas in it. they are flimsy to say the least. I see one on evilbay for 80 bucks now and a new one is listed for around 112. Original hood and no old front accidents are apparent. Some of the interior trim needs to be fixed to fit better or tighter. The big plastic side panels in back have wear and missing broken snaps. There is no drivers door po my/lid for storage. all of them I ever see seem to be broken. its missing the interior trim separator panel from rear storage bins to cargo area. When he painted it I had him strip most of the car to bare metal. we found a red roof on it and a talk with my friend revealed the car had a tree branch fall on it in his driveway and he put another used roof and hatch and both doors on the car. He was a very good metal man in his day and the roof fits nicely. But the interior trim doesn't fit perfect and may have be due to the cheap way they are made and fit with push in snaps. I think it might be easier to jut put a few countersunk screws in it to hold them better and more securely and forget it. I did take off one A post pillar once and looked to see why the wiring for the rear hatch is there but the dome light does not work. But I forget why I never fixed it. I never bothered to check the wiring further to the dome light and frankly don't care anyway if the dome light doesn't work. The headliner has a small tear in it from me putting something in the hatch. By gas filler there a small dent. nbsp;passenger front fender has a parking lot scratch pretty deep. Non original Radio is loose in dash I don't know what up with that. The FM is working when it feels like it. but the Cd works fine. Power antenna was working last time I checked. the AC is cold and works. Car has spare and jack etc. Pic of speedo and car photos were taken recently but I do drive it a bit. Spoilers are both correct and original for the R1 third gen. I think I have the RX7 letters and emblems for rear body and hood. I will have to check. if I have them they are yours. if not don't hold me to it. On the body side of issues to be fair in my description: He used a non R1 hatch which has a wiper when he put the used roof on. nbsp;(the hatch he used was a touring one with a wiper). The body guys filled in the wiper hole but they forgot to remove the rear washer jet on top of hatch and fill it in. No big deal to me but hey I am trying to tell you what I know and see that you don't see. Both doors close ok. seams and lines look fine and its has never been an issue with me so I don't care it had a roof put on it. Plus the title is clean and so is carfax. What you don't see too good in pics are driver front fender has a couple scratches and scuffs. There is a small oil leak someplace and once in a while you can smell oil or see oil smoke from front so I assume some is leaking onto the exhaust. Its a black car and black shows everything. so yes you don't see any scratches scuffs bird stains rain drops in photos etc. But they are there. Ask any question by email or call me usa east coast before 8 PM 5708156504 Please NO TEXTING ME. If its a legit question I will answer it and post it if not I won't bother. Don't ask reserve. bid and be ready to buy it. Please DO NOT ASK ME TO TRADE ANYTHING INCLUDING CARS I DON'T NEED ANYMORE OR I WOULD NOT SELL A RARE R1Guys. nbsp;if you don't have cash in hand don't bid I don't need the money and don't want to sound rude. I have a lot of cars and As a Mazda guy I owned the first rx7 in my area in 79. i had a new GSL in 83. a new gsl-se in 84 and bought a new second gen turbo II in 87. I was in the biz for years and have owned hundreds of rx7. yes hundreds. so I know the cars pretty well and think its a good deal and a wise investment for the right guy. I am simply trimming my herd and want the R1 to go to a good home. I really just don't have time to drive them or use most of them. Personally I think the R1s will be worth some long green down the road and that's why this one is worth spending a few bucks on and I would suggest to leave it stock. Car is in Scranton. Pa. title is in my name. GREEN Cash talks you know the drill. If you are out of area bid accordingly. its AS IS NO RETURNS NO CRYBABYS NO REMORSE. Venue of sale is Lackawanna County. PA. By bidding you agree to the rules of sale venue and AS IS WHERE IS NO WARRANTY STATED NOR IMPLIED. ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED IS SOLEY TO ASSIST YOU INMAKING A REASONABLE ASSESSMENT OF THE CAR. I will assist anyway I can to help with transport. I am near the major Interstates 84 380 81 but I prefer you come see it in person and drive it home. i had it listed about two months ago but the dude ran into a paternity suit problem and I let him out of the sale when he verified why. I drove it a few miles since last month but not too much so speedo pic is close but not exact. I think it has 89k the last time it was listed everyone wasted time sending emails asking reserve. I did not reply then and will not reply now. Do not ask me reserve or waste my time or I will ban you from bidding. Bid to buy it.
