I'll get you a quote, but I do have another buyer interested as well.

Dude!
If it's still there I will pay you good money to get it for me!!!


Or, get me the name and phone# of the yard and I'll see if they can pull it for me...

I know of someone working on an AWD FB, but I can't talk about it...

79 limited edtion still my favorite
p.s. great forum

I had a 1980 RX-7 with a 4-Speed. I've never seen another with a 4-speed.

Also, an aquaintance has a 79 Yellow with an automatic. Its got the pull through turbo kit on it where the compressor sits after the carburetor. Its pretty awesome.

I always thought that the most rare one was the savannah edition. You know the one with the 2+2 with the mirrors up on the fenders. Or maybe the few turbo 12a's that only made it to the japanese domestic market and were never imported to the U.S. I dont know I guess use your own opionion

There are 1 or 2 SA's at my tuning shop that have 4 speeds...

I have a one peice Targa band available to me, but it's claimed already when I get a hold of it (either CamoCarl or IanS)

Now this is a beauty! Thanks for posting this picture RRTEC. :bigthumb:

Hey it's my car!! :) I just finished tucking her in for winter. :( ... now I have to wait tell late April ... booo.... winter sucks...

nice car spool32!

factory 12A-T?

how many of those were made? (for this market)? like 1? yours?

From the info I have found they made 2 pace cars, the other was wrecked, or at least that what all signs point towards, as the VIN hasn't been registered in YEARS! It may be in a private collection somewhere....

Only two were made for the US market, but in Japan, there were plenty back i the eighties. Now on the other hand, these things are rare and often sold for more than a FD, and certainly more than a FC! Good thing i got me one this year!

Yours is not a OEM PACE CAR mortenf....

I don't know what I'd say the rarest car is, but if we started a "rarest part" thread I'd nominate my door panels.

Why?
1. They have to be from an '84-'85
2. They have to be Grey
3. They have to be from a car w/o power windows

So that limits it to '84-'85 GS with grey interior ONLY. Forkin' impossible to find in good condition and someone cut the vinal on one of mine!

Jon

Lol... You STILL haven't found 'em Jon?
I feel bad for you...

Damnit all to hell!:rolleyes:

This is just getting cruel:(

God has a sick sense of humor...

Well, if they don't take it...

No, if Carl doesn't take it (debts to him!) IanS will, he had dibs on it before I even had a plan on how to GET it :D

I dunno...
I have "friends" that could convince them they don't want it;)...
You wouldn't have an address for CArl and Ian would you...?








Lol... j/k.... :rlaugh:



Mostly....:eek:

bah. nevermind

rarest 1st Gen
 

FWIW the collection of JDM 79-80 RX7 brochures I have include a 1980 Savanna "SE-Limited" with:
-leather interior
-power windows (this is the first 2 years of production remember! PW didn't arrive to the "general" RX7 population till the 81!). Switches were on the doors.
-rear wiper (again, 81+ option outside Japan). Switch was where the electric antenna switch was located in the US RX7 (JDMs had the antenna imbedded in the fr. windshield!- antenna Switch position was blank)
-sunroof
This was pretty unusual in the home market. ANY Savanna 1979-80 RX7s I have seen were all with OUT sunroofs. The "SE" was the sunroof model, as an option in 1980. they were available in the top 2 (of 5!) models, the second being the Savanna SE-GT.
Anyway. pretty low production car, since it came out at the tag end of 1980 production line and Mazda soon switch over the factory to produce the Mk2/81 style. Really looks gorgeous with the leather trim inside. The one in the brochure is brown inside with matching brown stitched-leather steering wheel rim and shift knob. The ONLY Mk 1 (79-80) leather shift knob we ever got here was the black ones in the North American '79 Limiteds.

I found a chart that lists VINs by manufacture month.

Dude, that's awesome! Can you dig up something like that for FB's?

Like I said in the original post (in the other thread) I think it came from a Mazda parts manual. A newer one might include the FB numbers.

I think I got the parts manual PDFs from one of these sites:
http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/
http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html

Oh and the dealer doesn't seem surprised at all when I phone and say I'm looking for a part number that I got off a PDF of the microfiche. :)

I was in the hardware room at work last week (storage for computers from the 1980s) looking for something and I found a microfiche machine. I have no idea if it works. My first thought was "that's where my part numbers are stored". Then I thought about using a machine like that at the library when I was in school. :)
