WOW. 7500 mile 1985 GSL.

Looks Legit, and in great condition too.

 

I saw that car on there too, has to be one of the lowest mileage around. Not a fan of the interior color but still an incredible car that belongs in a museum or with a serious rx7 collector.

 

yeah that's nice! its got stuff you can't fake too, the gauge needles are still orange. its got the sticker on the radiator, the OEM plug wires etc etc etc...

 

12,100, and the reserve still isn't met. DAMN.

 

Too bad it isn't a GSL-SE. Kinda like saving a 1970 chevelle coupe instead of a big block SS

Nice car though!

 

Seeing the interior of the car makes me weep, since that's what the interior of my car is supposed to look like.

 

its still got the up and down arrows on the power window switches!

 

insanely beautiful.... i was working at a mazda dealership a few years ago and this 80 year old gentlemen came in with his perfect unrestored 79 that was ridiculous like this...

 

brings a tear to my eye..... my dad used to have a mint beige GSL in the same condition. only the engine was rebuilt with one of the last brand new 12A housings in stock.

 

That radio surround... its in one piece

 

Mother of God that thing is a beauty. Look at the center console and gauge cluster.. crazy! Pretty sure the reserve is at least 20k+

 

I don't know about that. The GSL-SE may have been the creme-de-la-creme of the FBs, but personally I much prefer the carb'd 12a. It had a charm all its own, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that. For the right buyer/collector this car is going to make an amazing showpiece.

Beautiful. Absolutely stunning. I only wish it had the grey interior, but still, amazing.

 

Nice find. Its nice to see them pop up with low miles from time to time

 

I'm pretty sure this would be considered a survivor car, low miles, all stock, absolutely pristine condition, this is a total collector showpiece or factory museum piece, it's gorgeous though.

 

Hmmm, GSL-SE is nice, but I like SAs much better.

To prove the point, I bought my SA as a used car in Jan 1984 instead of a new
GSL-SE because I wanted a good autocrosser and the lightest model.

All those extra electronic gadgets and fuel injection are just bad memories waiting
to happen.

Give me a carb and manual windows and no sunroof please

 

I think a survivor is a solid driver with "patina", not a low mileage car in pristine shape
like this one. Now my car, definitely a survivor, with the scars and imprefections
all there.

This is a really nice car but to ask that kind of money, insane. Its a dealership selling
it, so you takes yer chances there. BTW, reserve will never be met is my call on this one.

 

Not bad since it was probably just shy of 14k new in its day lol

 

Yeah, because GSL-SE's were known to be unreliable, LOL!

GSL-SE's were the most reliable rotary cars ever built.

But I do see your point.

 

this is a nice looking car.

How about this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...item1c260aac18

 

Both of those look to be investment grade. Getting them from the original owner or their immediate family w/the window sticker and documents is THE way to go if your into collectability. Invest a few grand now and keep the thing "maintained" but in the same condition and it just may net you a couple more grand in 10-15 years. Just about as risky as your 401K anymore. Curious, the first one (the 85) did they switch the placement of the battery cabels around sometime in FB'dum or did some one put the plastic cover over the neg cable clamp instead of the positive one?

 

the plastic cover is on the right wire, the wire placement looks stock to me too, although i have seen it the other way, and i'm not 100% sure which one is correct.

 

that's what peepers looked like when it rolled off the showroom floor! that ad could use better pics, and some better infoz

actually the good story is this one time in 1998 or so, this guy drives a nice blue 83 in, and says my wife won't let me buy her a new car, can we fix this to look like its new?

so we ordered ALL of the outer trim, moldings, lenses, weatherstrips, badges, etc etc, and sent it to the paint shop, and 11k later, it looked like it just rolled out of the factory.

so U2 blue FTW

 

that car is awsome i would love to have that. it so cool to see the interior is still red and not pink lol. but with it having been drivin so little what are the chances the seals in the motor arent dried up?

 

Really? SA's have the positive cable to the front of the vehicle and protected with the cover. The negetive cable is attached to the rear most post. I'm not sure you could even stretch the negitive cable far enough to reach the front if you turned the battery 180 degrees. Maybe, if you unsecured it from the fender and took all the slack out of it. Just a detail that stuck out to me. I would not kick it out of my garage over it! An example of a correct, stock SA engine bay.

 

that's really nice! the FB cables must have more slack, cause they will go both ways.
