Whoops I did it again
Silver this time, 85 GSL. This one is real pretty, has the RB header on it already. Embarassing low price, great time of year to buy 7's. 107,000 miles and real peppy.
I'll put up some more pictures when I get it fixed up.

The interior is in excellent shape, unbelievable for 22 year old leather. The paint is original and still real shiny, must have been garaged (it was a Texas car, but the fading isn't that bad). It's a great color that matches our 2002 MP5, so they look pretty good together.
The tires are Sumitomo 175/60/13's, the guy I bought it from said they were good for drifting. They are almost new, but I like the stock look and performance much better, so I will be putting the drifters on my tan 84 GSL when I sell it this spring. Which I need to do because this one makes four and my wife and neighbors are going to kill me if I don't get the number back down to two or three.
I can't tell you the price, I've got enough people pissed at me already, but that was a major selling point, to good to pass up.
I can't wait to fix it up and get it on the road (mostly needs a good carb adjustment, running way lean, and some real tires) but I have to finish parting out my brown 85 GSL (the one the buick got) and get the tan 84 GSL ready to sell this spring, in order to avoid divorce.
Then I'll have two really nice road worthy 7's, the white 84 GSL and this one, both with good red leather interiors and shiny original paint.
Life is good.
Here's it's stable mate, my white 84 GSL and current daily driver:
And here's the tan 84 GSL I'll be selling in the spring, it has the brown leather interior in good shape:

Thanks Mr. Aussie, those are little 175/50/13 tires, Sumitomo or otherwise they are pretty small, not something I'd like to handicap my 7 with. But I don't drift so I might be missing something here.
Here's some details on the car, copied from the previous owners RX-7 post:
Rebuilt carb using oem mazda gasket kit
4 NGK R's
Racing Beat Headers and Block off plates
Changed oil using 20W-50
Changed Tranny Fluid with Redline MT-90
Magnaflow Hi Flo Cat
Borla out back
2 1/4" Exhaust from headers back
Had all 4 Calipers rebuilt at just brakes
Swapped out old pads for Hawk HPS's
New rotors out back- fronts were well within tolerances
4 Sumitomo 175/50R13 all the way around on OEM Alloy wheels
Alpine head unit in Glove box to retain factory look inside
new brake/clutch master cylinders as well as new slave cylinder
This car has:
original rear end- Disc brakes/limited slip
both glass and solid roofs
burgundy leather interior- in great shape
new carpet out back
original spare/jack/owners manual
little to no rust!-surprising for a SE car- garage kept obviously
original suspension
all original glass- no cracks

That's your car Zach, she's still on vacation since I got her from you last December. I start her up every few weeks, have done a little cleaning and plan to take a look at that carb as soon as I get my white one back together.
Got pictures of the new one? Hope your trip to Burma or every that was turned out to be a good one.
Oh yeh, those mini tires are for sale if you are interested!
