Mazda Rx7 Limited Edition Owners

I just picked up this 2nd owner 80k mile 1983 Limited Edition rx7. It is truly time capsule. I plan on keeping it stock and enjoying it on nice weekends.

I took it for a test drive, bought it instantly and then put it on my trailer, brought it home and put tucked it away all detailed!

An absolutely stunning example! Do you know any of the car's history? You are the second owner, correct?

I remember this car on FB marketplace, in fact i messaged the gal about it, because her ad seemed very reluctant to sell it. I'm glad it was picked up by an enthusiast because it's obvious it was well cared for.

I really love how it stayed in the PNW its whole life too. I'm originally from Spokane, so seeing it was sold there is pretty cool. If the weather holds out, you should bring it to the Griots Garage cars and coffee on March 5th. I'll be there in my FB most likely.

Beautiful car, I'm really glad it didn't go to someone that wants to race it or violate it!

Fantastic looking car, congratulations. Not an expert on the 83 Limited, noticed the pin stripe ends at the rear quarter. Is this correct / stock? Guess I'm just used to seeing the stripe continue all around the rear of the car like the 79 Limited's.

Sharp rx7 I was tempted to pull the trigger myself . Was 1 day late . I still have the email from the original owner of your rx7 . Lori Bennet she worked at a school in Spokane. Both her and the second owner have taken excellent care of that limited edition.

Not many of these out there left. I'm happy Kyle approves of Joe Maddox owning this fb. 👌 the collection's growing daily. I'm the OP BTW, but I forgot my login info.

Currently I have this limited, a year in and almost 500 miles and it's got new door seals, brakes and a heated garage! It now sits next ​​​​​to my 1988 10th anniversary edition, 1989 GTUs, 1990 Infini rocket bunny, 1991 Turbo II And a few other miatas and silvia. Almost saved up enough to get my cym!





Liam loves the fb and is hooked for life. Its getting passed it him... as well is this cool toy i got of it!
