Each car that (Rotarydude j/k ) crashes and can be found in junk yards, makes our cars rarer!

akman360 09-23-08 08:23 PM

Hey! I have a 1980 Anniversary Edition Rx7. It's a 5 spd, just got done repainting it. Pretty close to the stock color, but I need to finish the pinstriping. The vin # is SA22C 605262. Anyway here's pics of the outside new paint.

Only 9 other LS. . . thought there would be more around here.

mazdaverx713b 09-24-08 09:43 AM

i really like this registry. i'll talk to the other mods and see if we can get this sticky approved :)

Mickster 09-24-08 09:55 AM

That would be great Dave. Thanks!

my dad is a proud owner of a 79 limited. i must say he loves that car!

ourxseven 09-24-08 10:39 AM

This is the best link to my 79 and the work ongoing with it . If you can put that in the top summary that would be better than the other two ( shows new E6 paint last year)

thanks for including me

I have a 83 LE... Kinda special to me, build date 3/83 I was born 4/83. It has 62k miles and im the second owner I paid $1000.00 for it February of this year. The only thing that sucks is its missing the LE wheels:(

Johnny Boost 09-26-08 10:40 AM

Whoa I'm blown away that this got stickied!

Thanks akman360 for bringing my post back to life... I made it back in Feb 2008 and now Sept 2008 people realize it exists.

Hey Mods is there away we can edit the top page and add the new additions to the list?

mazdaverx713b 09-26-08 06:46 PM

what we can do if you would like is continue the list in a new post. i have started the 1988 10th Anniversary registry in the 2nd gen forum and the SA/FB registry in this section and we just copy and paste the current list in a new post and add the new VIN and details in that post.

thank Doc for making it a sticky. i suggested it to him and he found it in his good graces to sticky it. these are excellent threads for collectors and enthusiests like us.

Mickster 09-26-08 07:35 PM

EXCELLENT! Thanks Doc! Thanks Dave!

Great another LE still on the road . 40,002 miles would be great if its true , but you might want to check ownership history if you can . With only 5 digits on the odometer its very likely been round the clock at least once .

I searched the previous owners of my 79 which was sold to me as 85K , but I confirmed it was actually 185K by talking to the first omer who sold many years ago at 115K.

Good luck with the car and any restoration you are doing . I just had mine repainted E6 and it looks great.

mazdaverx713b 10-02-08 08:45 AM

i went ahead and updated the regisrty with GearYeia14's info. keep posting your special 7's so we can get them added!!! also, if you guys want we can add our mileage as well. just throwing that out there. not my thread so i wont add the mileage. its up to the original poster.

another thought is that we can start a new thread dedicated to just pictures of our special models. input on that would be great!

Johnny Boost 10-02-08 10:36 AM

I like that idea... as long as it stays just pictures and people don't use up a lot of the space with "whoa nice car" "good find" and random comments.

skillz 10-04-08 04:03 AM

hey guys i guess i shuda done this a long time ago i think im the only person in myrtle beach sc that still drives an old school rx-7 its a 1985 gsl se jm1fb3324f0888070 o paid like 1300 for it bought it from a church its got 197,000 miles or more and ive done so much qork jus keepin it runnin originally it was yellow but i painted it flat black well i put som pics up of my car too oh and i dont no if this fits here sorry

Johnny Boost 10-04-08 07:15 PM

Yeah there is a thread for all first gen RX-7s but this one is for the really rare limited edition ons.

But the flat black does look good. I'm going tobe doing a flat black metallic on my project car.

skillz 10-05-08 12:14 PM

MattG 11-29-08 11:53 PM

First, the link doesnt work on the picture of the 83 LE car

JB whats with the hate.....

I did not wreck or destroy any of these i found them in this condition.

I know that you are messing with me that is ok though, before I started recording the vins on the ones i saw i must have seen 30 or more that we will never be able to id.

on a seperate note i recently picked up a couple of little gems that will be exceptionally helpful I now have one NOS anniversary badges, and a set of NOS anniversary stripes granted they are supposed to be for a GLC but I measured them on 7 and they will fit.

Johnny Boost 12-19-08 01:50 PM

I'm not hating on you :) ... I did find it funny that next to each of those cars was your name...

rotarydude 12-20-08 12:54 AM

I thought about that for a long while before i did it.... it goes back to an issue that i had with another car. I spent 20 years trying to locate one of my fathers old cars only to find out that it was destroyed. Therefore I felt that it was important to list the ones that I knew I had scrapped out.

I do want everyone to know that if there is a vin with my name listed and it says scrapped I am the one that took it to the crusher, it does not account for the hundreds that I have seen in the salvage yards over the years. I just hope that some of this information is helpful to others.

DAVE

MazdaRXV8 01-10-10 06:14 PM

I used to own a 1980 LS in white that I am trying to locate. The VIN is SA22C-627825. Any help finding it would be appreciated.

ourxseven 02-14-10 11:00 AM

I was searching through the Parts fiche this morning and saw the VIN range for the '79 LIMITED almex rims .

VIN range is 542637 - 552248

I would expect these represent the first and last production numbers of the Limited . Hopefully one these shows up on the board one day ..... that would have the special - special edition status

clint999 05-28-10 05:10 AM

my dad is a proud owner of a 79 limited. i must say he loves that car!

post the vin and add it to the registry!

1980 X Anniversary (possible LS)
 
I just unearthed this from a winery, and a friend and now here it sits in my driveway.

I think its an LS, but only because Im a newb, and from what I've read, the LS' had leather interior, (which this does under the seat covers). Here are some pictures.

Serial # SA22C 605521

13x 07-11-10 07:58 PM

inside pics would help, they look like the low raise leather seats inside but hard to tell for sure with door closed, either way a hell of a find!!!

usmarine1979 07-11-10 10:21 PM

I pulled the seat cover off one, and found leather sides with cloth inserts... so maybe not, although Im not sure... I'll shoot some interior pics but here's what I've got now...

http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/w...7/DSCN0755.jpg

These were all shot with the covers still on... Until I'm sure there are no leaks, Im not going to remove them permanently..

On a posative note.. it's raining like hell so I guess I"ll find out soon

usmarine1979 07-11-10 10:21 PM

oh and can anyone please tell me what the switches next to the choke are for? My guess is going to be power mirrors?

rotarydude 07-12-10 10:11 AM

Those my Marine friend are for the power mirrors, and yours is not an LS but a seemingly original 1980 10th Anniversary. that is the original factory radio and tape deck. This one seems to be a very untouched original more pictures would be nice but i am confident that it is an anniversary edition

usmarine1979 07-12-10 11:05 AM

Thank you much I kinda guessed by the cross pattern the switches moved in. Im excited to get into this thing and get restoring, but its still raining so I may have to just pull the motor today and pull it into the garage

85RX7GS 08-20-10 02:37 PM

I've never seen a set of wheels like those on that AE. Kind of looks like a modified GS wheel. Are those OEM?

BrGreenSA 09-01-10 07:14 PM

hi, i recently acquired from an older gentleman what used to be an aurora white LS. it has the original interior, but was painted british racing green, and at some point he got rid of the super hard to find wheels and put 13" steelies on so he could use these hideous wire hubcaps. other than that the car is entirely original and only has about 26000 original miles on the odo. i will post pictures next week as i am currently out of town.

EDIT: also, does anybody know where i could acquire the ls badges that went on the car? those were missing as well.
