Who here actually bought their rx-7 off the lot, and has had it for 20+ years? Lets see pics from you hard core rex owners.

 

Well I have not received the new title in my name yet so my newly purchased 79 is still technically a one owner,but only technically I guess.

I wish I was old enough to get one of these cars new back then,because they have been a favorite of mine since I was a little kid with my first matchbox car(it was a gold RX-7).

Well My dad bought the car in 1983, I grew up with it, now its mine! Does that count?

 

A poll with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th would have been nice.

Just for the record I'm the second owner on my current '85 GLS (original owner had it 19 years)

And again I was 2nd on my '83 GLS (no 3rd owner, car was totalled by a drunk, I wasn't in the car)

And also again I was 2nd on an 88 TII 2+2. (sold it to a kid when I thought I was too old for one, stupid, stupid, stupid me)

 

i bought the misty blue 83 in the avatar new in 82. Bought my silver 85gsl from the original owner in 2001.

 

I bought my gold '83 from the original owner, who had it for 23 years, 7 of which it sat in his garage until I came and took it.

 

My FB was a total **** before we met.

 

Now we definately need a poll with: 1st, 2nd, 3rd AND ****.

 

Bought my black 82 GSL new in September 1982, along with an 83 Misty Blue GS. Still have the GSL with 50,000 original miles. X-wife got the the 83 GS in the divorce...have no idea where the **** (her...NOT the car) or the car is now

 

that MG whats his name has had his '79 since new and wasnt it one of the first cars built? He's my hero.........

 

My recent ride was purchased from the original owner...

 

Me too! I picked up an SE a few months ago.

 

Dose it count if my dad bought his '79 new and it is mine. It never left {or ever will} the family. It was yellow but is now an off white b/c it was left outside for 20 yrs.

 

My dad bought it off the lot and still owns it. Sure I drive it more than him now, but it is one owner and there are no plans so sell it ever! Go 1st owners!

Here are a few pics: (sorry if they're a little big)



Thats 105,785 for those that are wondering.

bay area representin!! haha had 2 former neighbors who also had 1G RX-7s.. the same gsl model as mine except black with maroon interior except standard sound system with a separate cassette deck and no aluminum louver.. and a gold gs.. which my dad and i never talked to them about theirs...

 

The dude I bought my SA from was the only one to drive it.
It was in the same garage it's entire life. This guy did NOTHING to the car except change the oil. Nice car but I had to go through everything. It had the original tires!
I like the car but I wish he'd done SOMETHING every now and then.
Great compression though.
