Vehicle Description
The 1989 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 ultra-low mileage car that's well preserved in its original
fiery red. The exceptional price is just the cherry on top.
Red convertibles are always a good investment, and this one is
still wearing most of its original Blaze Red paint. The level of
gloss and shine you see today is a testament to both the quality
work of Mazda and how well this RX-7 has been respected from day
one. But what we really love about these second-generation cars is
that Mazda offered a European exotic level of design, while still
retaining the Japanese build quality. So, the headlights fit flush
against the body; the black folding roof remains taut; and the
15-inch factory BBS wheels appear to have never done a parking lot
battle. The result is a car that looks far younger than its age
would suggest.
Black leather always looks terrific against a bright red exterior.
We are particularly excited to see a car in our inventory like this
because a car with this low mileage (averaging less than 1,350
miles annually) means there is little time to even crease the
seats. So, the premium bucket seats are still deep, dark, and
smooth. Plus, the carpeting, door panels, and dash are also just as
nice. You'll slip behind the sporty three-spoke steering wheel and
gaze at the red-faced gauges - 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 locks, cruise control, and
the factory AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo. This was specially engineered
to be a quite thoughtful convertible. The power windows and power
top mean you don't have to leave the driver's seat to go from
enclosed luxury, to a wind-in-your-hair experience. Plus, the air
conditioning is blowing cold to help make sure you can keep the top
down into the summer season. A truly unique touch piece are the
stereo speakers in the headrests. This allows you to hear your
favorite tunes no matter how fast you go with the top down.
What makes the RX-7 a unique sports car is the revolutionary
two-rotor Wankel engine. No pistons, no crankshaft, no valves -
just a pair of triangular rotors inside a beer-keg-sized housing.
The design is compact, efficient, and could provide the same power
as its six and eight-cylinder competitors. But its true hallmark is
that it can happily spin to 7,000 RPM (and likely beyond) with
incredible smoothness. We believe this is the original motor, and
such low mileage also means an amazing engine presentation. All the
plated parts are still shiny, the rubber components are supple, and
even the original decals are seen everywhere. But just because this
is so well preserved, it would be a shame not to take it out on the
road. After all, the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive,
fully independent suspension, low-mounted motor (i.e. low center of
gravity), and four-wheel disc brake package combine to offer the
ideal mixture of performance and comfort.
Complete with owner's manual, original warranty info, and
maintenance records, this is a unique grand touring machine that
also has survivor status. It's amazing you can get a droptop
classic like this for such a value price. But that only happens if
you hurry as these cars are gaining collector popularity quickly!
