Pretty cool, but the red one is not an 81 unless you did an interior swap out of the S3 and painted it black.

 

really? i was positive it was a 81?

 

and the interior is a dark grey, if that matters, it just looks black

 

Dark gray was an 85-85 interior color. Get the buffer out and make that red one shine.

 

well now i have a yearless rx-7 haha and i plan to sand the exterior down to get rid of any surface rust, and a few places have to be patched up, then ill paint it red again

 

Well its an s3 so it could be a 84 or 85

 

Yeah it's either an 84 or an 85. If you had an 81 S the dash would be different and you would have steel wheels with hubcaps(if the hubcaps would still be there). I have an 83 S and mine still had the hubcaps on it LOL. Swapped them out for the alluminum ones though.

 

is there s1's and s2's and what are the differences?

 

S1 is the SA which was 1979-1980. The S2 was 1981-1983 and S3 was 1984-1985. Just minor differences between them really. If you search in the 1st Gen FAQ page they have a section on explaining it.

 

so how can i find out if its 84 or 85?

 

Do you have a title for it?

 

VIN.

 

im not sure what you mean by that but i just fergot about my registration papers, so i looked at it and it said 1981, but theres still a problem, this means my interios doesnt match my year

 

Go out to your car, look at the top of the dash through your windscreen, forward of the steering wheel, you should see a little plack with your VIN on it. then look at your firewall, on the passenger side, in the engine bay, or the driver's side doorjam for the VIN. See if they match up. And it'll also tell you the year of the car (and dash).

 

alright, thanks, ill do that first thing in the morning, its 3:30 am here, . . . . . i believe its truly the dark side haha

 

Your interior is an S3. Look at the tag on the inside of the driver's door frame. It will have a build date on it.

 

The red one looks just like my '85 GS...

 

Yep, I'm guessing 84-85 GS, looks like it has the role up windows. That white one is nice, looks alot like my GSL. Thanks for the pictures.

electric windows in the red one, im still trying to find a date on the VIN codes, so this means my registartion papers are wrong, the presvious owner said it had a 85 engine and the car was a 81

 

btw the im signed in on shnakey's account, and im Mr.Snakey lol didnt notice till now

 

Must be a GSL if it has electric windows. The interior is definately 84-85. You and your brother have some nice projects going on there!

haha thanks, so i either have a 84 or a 85 GSL? it has air conditioning, cruise control, power mirrors, power windows, it does have disc brakes, it has powder coated alloy rims, and rear windsheild wipers, do these features come with a certain year, this might help to slove it

 

Yup those are all the standard features on the GSLs. Best model made in my opinion, probably because I have three of them. It's hard to tell the 84s and 85s apart unless you have registration information, but it doesn't really matter because the two years are essentially identical. Good luck with the projects, here's a web page on my 84-85 GSLs, which I use for the 110 mile per day commute and like to keep pretty much stock:

Nice rides. Like said above, The red one is definately a GSL.
