79 Ltd ownership
I originally owned a Limited purchased from Charles Levy Motors in Columbus, Georgia, July 1979, that I had to let go in 1984 to buy a house, and am searching for the serial#, possibly to find out its fate.
But I now own a 1979 Limited Canadian Edition, number 80 of 150 produced, serail # SA22C-551577, which I recently acquired from the original owner, with 51,000 kilometers on the speedo (about 32,000) miles. It now resides in Missouri, USA

Hey, I'm trying to get on the registry as a legitimate 79 Limited owner. I had my first one bought brand new from Charles Levy Motors in Columbus Georgia...Had to sell it to buy a house in 84. But thanks be to karma, I was able to get another one, number 80 of 150 ( Canadian-even rarer than the US models) VIN SA22C-551577, with actual 51,000 kilometers on the speedo. I got it from the original owner, who was meticulous about maintenance and record keeping, as well as never driving in foul weather...needless to say, the car is a gem, 99% original, except a set of Boge driving lights added under the front bumer. Pics to follow.

pic and vin
I have been having trouble with the uploader from my browser issues but here is the pic of the badge, all original, not a replacement from advanced or wal-mart. VIN #16D0763558.
Original seats with are the same LE color but the head rests are leather as the rest of the seat is cloth. Upgraded radio with equalizer including 2 amps both on driver side, one in the bin and other under the seat. All power options included. Will be adding more Pictures and videos in time.
I have a question here. I understand the 83 Chateau Silver Limited Edition 7's with its badges and features, but whats with the badges on some other models of the same year with the Limited Edition badge on the dash? My 83 GSL has all the options like the Chateau LE but just don't have that paint job or pin striping. Mine is a Renaissance Red Metallic color which is the R3 paint code. 13 inch wheels I think with normal mazda rims. Here is a picture of the badge I am talking about. But I have seen this badge at the same location many, many years before you can find these in wally world or advance auto or something.

83 LE
VIN: JM1FB3316D0739373
Parting out - very rusty but complete.
So, you can scratch this one from the roles.

I found a silver '83 Limited Edition rx7 at chico california pick n pull. They wanted $100 per car they had to move to get it out of the yard, so there was 10 cars i just left it there because i don't have $1000+ to spare.
seemed to be 100% complete and in fairly good condition, the 12a turned over by hand and i bet it would run well with some work.
PM me if you want more information about it
