Vehicle Description
The 1988 Mazda RX-7 has matured into an intriguing and attractive
grand touring machine, and the convertible version is the ultimate
expression of the open road. That's why we're very excited to see
an example that's this well preserved. The exceptional price is
just the cherry on top.
The RX-7 is a machine that's always full of clever ideas, and
dropping its top only adds to the appeal. Dressed in its factory
Noble White, it has been preserved correctly so that the sleek
shape still looks contemporary. Of course, it also helps when great
care is combined with the exceptional build quality of these
Mazdas. So, the headlights fit flush against the body; the black
trim line remains unbroken as it encircles the entire car; and the
crisp black folding roof adds to the classic appeal. And those
upgraded Enkei wheels look terrific on a Japanese modern classic
like this. The result is a convertible that looks far younger than
its age would suggest.
A car like this is meant to be open to the world. So the gray
leather interior does a great job of complementing the exterior
white. The carpeting, door panels, dash, and bucket seats (with
nifty speakers integrated in the headrests) are all well preserved.
You'll slip behind the sporty three-spoke steering wheel and get
excited as you grip the well-placed stick shift. Your heart will
begin beating a bit faster as you watch the red-faced gauges begin
to dance - and yes, the tach is prominently the center just like a
Porsche. But more than just a pure sports machine, the RX-7 was
Mazda's flagship car, and so there are plenty of luxury features.
It includes, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, a
premium factory AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo, power top, and air
conditioning to help keep you cool while looking cool in this
droptop.
The RX7's real calling card was the revolutionary two-rotor Wankel
engine. This is believed to be the original motor, and its
exceptional condition tells you this was well-respected. No
pistons, no crankshaft, no valves - just a pair of triangular
rotors inside a beer-keg-sized housing. The design was compact,
efficient, and could provide the same power as its six and
eight-cylinder competitors. But it's true hallmark was that it
could happily spin to 7,000 RPM with incredible smoothness. And you
get to experience all of the powerband thanks to the full control
of the five-speed manual transmission. Plus, the fully independent
suspension, nice weight distribution, grippy Michelin tires, and
four-wheel disc brakes combine to offer the ideal mixture of
performance and comfort.
Complete with owner's manual, this preserved classic is a blast to
drive down your favorite twisting piece of pavement - with the wind
in your hair and the sun overhead. So at this price, this total
package classic won't be with us long. Call today!!!
