front shot (obviously) interior pics- everything on this car is origanal from 83'.... the paint... the interior... i cant believe how nice this car is... i've seen rx-8s that are in worse condition!. check out the old school MAZDA font on the floor matt!! Engine bay is super clean too... air blows very cold, still has r-12 refridgerant..

She's a beauty! Take good care of her.

Love the pic of the three 7's parked on the street. So cool.

Thanks for the pics!

Throw back!! 6 years ago, next weekend, I got this car! Still have it, here's some pictures I took of it today in the exact same spot as when I purchased it. Up to 86K now, but I really really really took good care of it, & I think the pictures will show it.

Enjoy!

Wow that car is clean!

I don't think I would mod anything on it, baby it and take it to car shows and what not.

Wow, love the brown on brown. Very nicely kept.

In total agreement with previous sentiment: Keep it like it is.

Except some of those goodies under the hood and attached to the exhaust.

Got it for $3800, with 60,2xx miles. Now up to 86,5xx miles or so!

Thanks a ton for all the comments!! It's nice to share my car with other enthusiasts
