What We Like

Thanks in part to a nimble chassis and distinctive rotary engine, Mazda’s RX-7 has a loyal following among automotive enthusiasts. This example features long-term ownership since 1989, a documented engine rebuild with less than 5,000 miles since completion, refurbished interior. Tasteful upgrades are paired with a set of attractive, factory BBS alloy wheels. This second-generation RX-7 is ready to provide its next owner with top-down, rotary-powered driving pleasure.

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

The seller purchased this RX-7 in April 1989 and has since added approximately 102,000 of the 113,100 miles shown. An accident-free Carfax report helps verify the mileage, and included service records highlight an engine rebuild completed in 2006. The seller indicates that the vehicle has been repainted in its factory blue, and some of the interior has been refurbished. Some service records, factory owner’s manuals, and two keys are included.

Mazda’s RX-7 has been long loved by automotive enthusiasts, thanks in part to its unconventional rotary engine. The lively powerplant is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox in a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive chassis, resulting in a fantastic sports car. The “FC” generation was launched in the US in 1985, with the convertible version seen here making its US-debut in 1988. The car earned many accolades from the driving public and press alike, including Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year award for 1986. Production of the “FC” series RX-7 ended in 1992.
