85 SE with 3A paint spotted

This is not my car nor do I know this seller in any way, shape or form. This is not a plug and I apologize for any rules I'm pressing. But, I just had to share.

I recently found out about 85 SE's with 3A paint from the 86+ models. Specifically, I was told I actually own one.😂 Fast forward two weeks and I see this ebay listing that looks like my SE's twin, but with a few extras.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-Mazda-RX-7/233305636087

Looks like 3A to me with the painted mirrors and all. Anyone else? If I had the money, I'd jump on it as it would be my ultimate parts car.

Beauty color. So you'd buy it for....parts?! That would be a bit of a shame...

That looks like a nice car. East coast car,would have to thoroughly checked for rust,until then i wouldn't be considering it a parts car. Definitely negotiate that price with owner,start at $2500 and go from there. 178k is a lot of miles,but if well taken care of...the hood bra and foglights are original options,rear spoiler is not.

If you end up buying that car for parts let me know, I'd be interested in some of the parts.

Fun fact, this is Royal Marron. All where GSL-SE in limited numbers and all had color matched mirrors.
