Except i broke the airdam off it like 2 years ago. so maybe this summer ill get it looking good again.

robs seven, the paint code will be on the VIN plate on the firewall, not on the door frame. that shouyld help you out in determining the color. the color may be A7, Marine Blue Metallic.

there is nothing but the vin# and the displacment on the tin plate that is mounted beside the hood latch, then the vin is also stamped on the firewall. ????????????

could you throw up a pic? the VIN plate should look like this:

yeah i see that but mine is not like that at all here is mine

i know the pic not that clear sorry but with it dark it was hard to get one that clear

so where is my paint code??

I dunno, but that plate on the door looks like a replacement. Pretty sure it should be riveted in place, not screwed...

yeah mine is riveted in place

its an original plate for sure. i would guess you have an "early" 79, built early in 78. perhaps there is a seperate sticker or plate for the color code. i've owned 15 RX-7's and i've never had a 79. 80 is the earliest i've personally had.

as a note, the VIN plates on the firewall are screwed in, NOT riveted. the only riveted plate is the VIN plate on the dash.

paint code is a sticker on the back side of the hood.

it is original, Mine is the same.

nice LS!!! i'm glad to see other Leather Sport owners here! this thread is really taking off. i'll start organizing the VIN numbers today at some point when i have time!!

get those pics up ... interior too.

Thanks! It going to be interesting to see all the SA owners, maybe there should hyperlink on the vins that go to a picture of the car (Just a thought). If you need any help let me know.

here's the list so far! let me know what you guys think of the layout. we can make changes if necessary. at least all of the VINs are in order now :)

looks great ...

my $ 0.02 ...... it would be nice to keep the thread to just pictures of the NEW posters and the updated list and not a lot of SA discussion ... keep that for other threads

i'll revise some things in the AM at some point and i'll also go back through and add the year to the list for each person that posted.
