Now i have an 80 SA and when i got it, it was completely stripped out from the back of the drivers seat to the tail lights.... so im trying to find out, did the 1st Gen ever come with a back seat ? or was it always them two little storage boxes? if anyone knows, please post here. also looking for any Rotary owners who live on the Island of Oahu in Hawaii, so we can get together and join forces against these piston people!! LOL

From a simple search of "rear seats."

 

yes, first gens were available with a rear seat. very rare here in the states. the 79-80 model year rx-7's had no storage bins behind the seats.

 

^ what dave said. your 80 was just a metal piece covered in carpet. i'll post pictures of mine if i have any uploaded.

 

there have been some custom rear seats done but the factory stuff to my knowledge was an Australian and Japanese thing.

 

nop, euro 7s also came with rear seats

 

i belive that is because of the extra beam in the sa. the fb's never had that beam.

 

Yeah all Aussie spec first gens came with rear seats :O(

We never got the handy storage bins, we got seats you can't ****** use instead!

but you can sell them to some american for alot of money or just trade for some bins

 

True…for some reason some Americans want rear seats in there 7’s.

 

COOL!!!

I do have a spare complete unmarked rear seat if anyone feels the need to buy it from me.

how much for the seat shipped to 96818? can i geta picture of them?

 

Cause for some stupid reason, having rear seats chops off $80 insurance

 

Probably lots as i'm in Australia, but if ya wanna pay the postage let me know.

I got the seat for AUS$50, you can have it a that price.

I can't be arsed taking a photo at the moment as i'm hungover big time, i'll throw a pic up later, the seat is the factory brown trim colour.
