'79 Mazda RX-7 Limited Edition
 

I took the 1979 Mazda RX-7 Limited Edition out of the garage this weekend for a few shots, and thought that some here would get a kick out of it.

PS - You can find the Photoshop technique that I used on the first shot HERE.

PSs - If you are curious what the second shot looked like out of the camera:CLICK HERE.

Very Nice and clean ... would you care to post up some more engine bay shots? Also what is the VIN#, we have a thread going around somewhere about who's got the oldest car ... so far we have car production #80 I believe. Also are you the original owner?

Sweet car.

would really like to see some shots of the interior .... maybe on the SA registry thread as well

Nice car and really nice camera work :icon_tup:

Just a recommendation, you may want to take your pictures and edit out your liscence plate numbers. That is NOT something you want on the internet because it's possible to find alot of information about you with just that number.

Nice looking car though. I've always loved the lines of the 1st gens.

I would love some of, no all of these in 1600x1200 for wall paper, there amazing. That's what I need my 85 to look like, same color with the louvers.

OMG! Beautiful..

Dude that is friggin clean. I would love more engine bay and interior shots

Nice car and some thoughts as dj55b

I'll try to get a few engine bay shots this week and I'll post them up. From my understanding, this is a mid-79 (two mirrors, driver-side hood pole, etc.)... hardly the oldest car. Technically, my mother/father are the original (and current) owners... I just say it's mine because they could never sell it without going through me first :D (I'd buy it now, but don't have a place to store it).

I'll try to get a few of these as well... anything specific you are looking to see?

Thanks... not like you couldn't find out a ton about me anyhow with a quick google :D

I may be able to put a few up as wallpapers (or put them together into a montage or something).

The louvers on the rear are one of the only non-dealer parts. Basically other than the battery, plugs, tires, air cleaner, one coil, and the freon from the AC... everything is original (and I have the air cleaner and coil put away). Also, fully documented... original window sticker, bill of sale, registrations (all of them), etc. The first 3000k miles or so are logged (mostly going to races at Laguna Seca).

-Todd...

Wow, that is simply just beautiful.

As requested... some more photos:

A few of general snapshots for those who were interested. If there is anything else you're after... just let me know.

From a jealous FD owner to you...*drewell*:drool:

Nice car!! (now go wipe down that center console!)

Some info from the original bill of sale:

-Todd...

Thanks for posting the pic Todd! I can assume the spare is untouched?? ;)
Bless your parents for never futzing with it!!

WOW !! ... finally some shots of what the seat fabric and BB paint is supposed to look like.

Thanks . Thats got to be the cleanest LE left . When I am ready to get my LE painted back to origonal black, I may need you to get a local PPG or Sikkens colour match code done off your paint.

post that baby in the SA registry thread

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Looks a thousand times better then my limited I just got for parts........But my has the rear seat......I dont have a title for it, It had been sitting since 2000 in a field out in the country........so it it is pretty thrashed inside..........I did not like SAs at first but after my 5/78 spark yellow I love them....Now have an 80 in my garage and an 88 Vert in the driveway.....

Great looking ride!!! Its wonderful to still see them in that condition

vary vary clean.

what camra do you have? and how many mega pixs?

Canon EOS-1D MkII... only 8.2MP, but MP isn't everything...

Much like engine size related to car's performance... as a rotary fanatic, you'd know all about that :D

-Todd...

Truly impressive! Now I know what mine used to look like. Congratulations!
