The white car is gonna have a gray cloth interior transplant in the spring. [/QUOTE

Are you going to change the dashboard and pillers as well? These would be burgandy too right?

thanks

 

The white car's complete burgundy cloth interior will be removed and replaced with the gray one. To inlcude dash and evrything that is burgundy.

I'm actually in Omaha and the Tender blue car came out of CO Springs. The interior while it sounds wierd actually looks good. I think this is since the burgundy is kinda a variant of blue in the color spectrum so they go togther. If it were straight "red" I don't think it would look all that good. Gotta remeber back in the 60's you could get "red" interiors with just about any color you ordered, but that was then...

As for the "collection". Currently I have just the 2 SE's and the GSL. None are really perfect. The tender blue had nice paint till i brought it home from CO, then a freak hailstorm put a few dings in it. Other than that its a rust free 125K mile car. Needs a engine replaced as it only has 1 good rotor it seems. The white Se I picked up in Lincoln NE for a song. Has complete RB exhaust and all those type of goodies. Runs/drives but has a lot of surface rust. Its in hibernation till spring when the resto will start. The "lil turd" brown GSl has been pretty much restored mechaincally but has a couple fading spots on the hood/sunroof. Its my daily driver. 96K miles with all documentation.

 

So I have found a white se for sale with leather seats but haven't talked to the guy yet. Are you guys 100% sure that there wasn't a gray interior for the leather

 

Positive, no grey int with leather. It's most probably the burgandy interior that guy has.

 

It was the brown interior wich isn't such a big deal to me anymore since I found a thread explaining how to properly take of a first gen dash. Anyways He said it has a little cancer around the back hatch so I think I will pass. It's funny what people call a mint car in their ads.

 

I have the factory brochure for 1985 somewhere. Along w/ the Accesories brochure. Too much RX-7 related books/papers! It will have the color combos in it. Ill let you know.

 

OK, found it.
Exterior colors are:
Dover White
Ocean Blue Metallic
Sunrise Red
Sunbeam Silver Metallic
Custom Silver Metallic
Sparkling Black Metallic
Tender Blue Metallic
Desert Brown Metallic
Light Beige

Guess what?
There are no Interior colors listed.

Probably due to regional differences w/in the U.S.

So mix and match.

If you want to see the brochure let me know.

 

Wow, that's alot of colors Gary! One day I will have to check out the brochure.

 

My grey parts car had a brown interior...
