BT has another 1st gen for sale
See it here:
5400-Mile 1981 Mazda RX-7 GSL | Bring a Trailer I wonder if any of the Ohio guys know the owner? http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.ne...-1-940x705.jpg |
So few miles. Lots of little quirks: door pulls from the metro-bus, inverter (?!) installed in the engine bay, and is that a center channel speaker behind the front tag? :)

Looks like fog light/cover? Can't see other side past lic. plate bracket.
|
That rear spoiler looks hideous on this.
|
I think those are fog lights with covers and the rear spoiler is a bit much.
The custom door pulls and the stereo setup actually spoil the interior a bit. http://13252-presscdn-0-94.pagely.ne...5/IMG_3740.jpg I see aftermarket stereo and mixer in the console and another mixer on the left of the console under the dash. Whats that? I also see some extra red/green wires coming from the battery back to the firewall for what purpose? Stereo or alarm? |

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...66fd81f18a.jpg someone used to park his ride and plug stuff into it when they partied! That or it was for the light when working on the car (which I doubt because he had a mechanic change his oil consistently). |
I think the dual eq setup is for front and rear. Back in the day, I recall lots of eq/amp combinations.
And GSLforme is right, I looked at other shots and the box behind the front tag is indeed 2 boxes: foglights with plastic covers. |
They looked familiar,installed quite a few sets of fog lights on new Rxs. Dealership accessory add ons,some came from Mazda sold thru parts dept. The ones on this car i think are Marchal,if one i'm thinking of, the cover flips up with a hinge on top side of lamp for use and flipped back down when not in use. Cute but not effective,quality wasn't that good,reflector +bulb holder used to rust out from water entry. Installed lots of Bosch Fog lamp sets which were much better made and had a well designed lens. Still have a set on my daily driver. That spoiler does indeed look out of place on that car. Had a Boss 302 Mustang i used to eat KFC dinners off the rear spoiler while at car shows. The one on this car is big enough to hold a turkey dinner +all the trimmings.

Its up to $5,500.00 with 2 days to go. Kind of what I expected but a little more really. Surprised its
getting this amount of bids. Good news for any of us I suppose. |
I talked to the owner a month ago. He bought it from one of his customers for $10K. He's willing to sell it for a loss to buy a house. I would be interested if not for the speakers and the door pulls in the panels. The spoiler can be replaced by a smaller one. He said it runs and drives like a new car. I believe he said he owns a couple of car wash/detail shops.
|
Well, I assume he has a reserve on it and theres little more than 1.5 hours left and its still at $5500.00.
Unless his reserve is really low, it probably won't sell. |
$8250 with 14 minutes left
|
Ended at $10,500. I don't know what there fees are but he didn't take too much of a loss if any and probably broke even.
|
Wow! Absolutely unbelievable. Good for him and us. It looks like 1st gens are starting to be collector
