Lookie here what I found today at my buddies salvage yard....
He towed this in from a dui case and he said hell sell it to me for cheap.
under $500 . The body is mint! no dents at all. the inside is dark brown leather with no backseats, looks to be 2 compartments in the back....
but its a 5speed with a short shifter and has an exhaust on it.
The first thing i did was check the oil and its holding oil in it and doesnt look dirty either. Hes gonna get out there monday with me and get it started.

 

Check out the *** on that one!!!

not bad not bad!

 

Good find!!

So what is wrong with it?

 

dunno yet but cant be too serious.... only has 120,000 miles on odo.

 

is there a site that tells me what colors this model came in??
its kinda cream colored....

 

color is beige i picked one up two weeks ago. Make sure you pull the plugs and hand turn the motor over to see if its free. If it locks up stop and do the atf treament. If its been sitting along time be carefull dont just throw a battery in and crank it . that could be a two grand mistake.

 

yall think i should just pay for it and get it towed to my house???
kind of a pain to be tryin to mess with it in a salvage yard.....
its not even 5 miles away from my house.

im only gonna pay like 300 hundred for it and it only has 120,000 miles.
im not gettin raped outa the deal even if something might be wrong...

 

For under 500 definitely! No matter what you do you can always part it out for that. Win win situation.

 

the salvage yard that you were at which one was it i live kind of close and would like to find some parts for my car its and 85 gs with a se engine swap. can you tell me if they have anything else out there?

 

Great find, my guess is that it floods like crazy(common for the se). I guess the injectors start to leak after so many miles when you shut the car off. Then when you go to restart it all you smell is fuel as you crank your battery dead. Mazdatirx website has a great de-flooding write-up on this. Good luck with the se it looks like a nice one.

 

bugman- I dont believe he has any more 1st gen 7's out there...
He duz have sum 2nd gen's tho.... He's only has that one 1st gen 13b and
he selling it to me on monday. but the salavage yard is called Averitt's Auto Salvage.
