Hopefully the dealer will fix the windows for ya freebee. If not, we can tell you how to do it, about an hour and some new lube, maybe drill a screw hole bigger. EASY FIX.
Congrats on the new ride, it's PURTY!

Here is that odd wood steering wheel:
There is a weird shaped "M" in the horn button. The steering wheel itself has an "INDY" emblem on it.

That weird 'M' is an old-school Mazda emblem from the 70's.
One note, be CAREFUL driving the car in the snow until you get used to it, RX-7s get tail-happy very easily in slippery conditions, its inherent in the design of the rear end....

Well, the car IS a 1984 RX-7 GSL, 12A. The only faults are the exhaust in need of reconnection, I think the radio needs another antenna (havent even figured out where that is).

I was surprised to hear a loud buzzer/beep in the car when I wound out a gear. Is that a stock RX-7 redline warning?

There is not a spec of rust on the car, and the paintjob is QUITE nice, the entire car was stripped down and repainted, every detail. Is this a stock color? Seems sort of grayish teal, or gunmetal blue-ish.....

The center console seems to be apart at the hinge, but clips in at the front, and doesn't move.
