How many 1980 10AE owners here(not 1988 10AE)
Now that Madza is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the rotary with a special edition RX-8 and limiting that production, I think it would be appropriate to raise the awareness of the 1980 10th Anniversay Edition.
I am restoring my 1980 10AE and would like to see if there's others that share in my mission to preserve this rare and important edition. Lets post photos regardless of the condition (especially of the "X" medallian). I'll start with mine. I'd like to restore the medallion but I need to see the original colors. I'm currently waiting for a response from Mazda USA to see if they can provide more facts, especially the production count, and I'll post it here. But this is all I have so as far as published information. Mazda celebrated its 10 years on the US market with special anniversary editions of the RX-7, as well as the 626 and GLC. Availability was to be limited to 8,000 cars nationwide (though exact mix among models was not specified), and all three models were outfitted in the same livery: a new color, Mazda Renaissance Red (for Mazda's "rebirth" in the US, thanks to the GLC, 626, and RX-7), pinstriping, and a medallion with the Roman numeral "X". The Anniversary RX-7 was based on the "GS sunroof" model and included specific upholstery on new "competition style" seats, a 4-speaker AM/EM sound system, inside remote controls for the dual outside rearview mirrors, and the otherwise optional aluminum alloy wheels. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...wpassenger.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...driverseat.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...Xmedallian.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...7interior1.jpg |

Mmm....purrrty. Looks better in blue than piss yellow. ;) But, then again, it's all because Wacky is running from the law. And, drinking himself into a stupor over a small ordeal of figuring out transmissions.
Y'know, wacky, if you quit drinkin' the heine's, you probably wouldn't have a memory problem. Well, you're old, so it'll happen but then at least NO ONE can blame the beer! ;) |
Theres one for sale here in town. It looks O.K. He wants only $500 for it. It runs good too. I guess it only has 40k on the chassis, but the motor has been swapped.

beautiful car. i'm sure it was hard for the man to get rid of it. i'd love to see some pics of it when it were new if you were able to get ahold of it. i have the counterpart to your car. an 80 Leather Sport(which was one of two special models offered in 1980) it has just a shade over 60K. it could use a new exhaust, could use new wheel bearings, it has a new clutch, and just needs a touch up on the exterior. ok, it could use a new paint job. but the interior is near perfect and the engine and trans are perfect! i bought my car off of the original owner. i had to go to new york to get the car.

The 10th A/E cars are pretty rare. Nice ones even more so. Not many 1st gens come up for sale that I'm not aware of. I remember seeing maybe 3-5 of these in the last 5-10 years. With that said, lightening does still strike. You just need to be vigilant and ready when it does. Good luck with your search.
