Desert Brown and Hanana Brown RX-7 owners....

i'm looking for pics of 7's bearing the color of Desert Brown Metallic (color code T9), which was only produced in 85 and Havana Brown Metallic (color code T5), which was produced in 83-84. trim level doesnt matter, just post what you have.

Mine has only 68k original miles. Completely unmolested. I bought from the 2nd owner who had it since 1989. The car is completely original, paint and everything. I even got the original window sticker, options sheet, and just about everything else. I'm really happy with it, sure the color is not my first choice, but it's grown on me. I love the brown leather interior.

That T5 is really a much darker brown. I'm going to detail mine here in the coming week and I'll get some new pictures up. The paint is in excellent shape for 23 years old, just needs a good clay barring and wax job.

^ Why did decide to go with a color change? I know it's close but why not go with the exact color? I think it will help retain or increase the cars value as it ages.
