I have to jump in here and say I absolutely love the passion we have for these cars! It's so great to see so many people who have owned numerous seven's through the years. I love it!

I'm on my second seven, a 84GS but I also had an 82. She's still in the back yard as my parts car. However, between my sister and I, we've owned five sevens so we've always been RX7 girls. She moved on past her RX7 phase, but not me! I won't drive anything else.

Someday, I want to own a third gen, as well as a few first gens. I'll never let my 84 go, she's my baby. I can't wait to own more sevens. It will be fantastic!

28th to date wherein 4 are RX-7 adn the rest are old school RX except for R-100 and Cosmo RX-5. (Til late 90's I was buying, restoring and selling for extra cash )

Current:
75 RX-3 13-B SP/IDA. It may need a complete body work but paint is OK at this time. Besides, its a SP conversion and SMOG EXEMPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

84 GS 13-B SP/IDA
converted to GSL. Orig charcoal gray/burgundy interior = but it was dirt cheap

85 GSL stock 12-A mikuni. Its has faded misty blue in some areas particularly in the roof but the interior is cherry and its on the road for my son and my other nephews to practice driving. Lil kids loves loud cars
