HI all!!!

So I thought I was out of the 2nd gen game with the purchase of my Fd, but I came across what I believe is the No. 9 Rx7 for 1990.

Last 6 of the VIN: 800009





Kind of blurry, but yeah....800009


All VINs match up of course, but the VIN PLATE is MISSING

that hurt my day, but whatever.

What are your thoughts?

That would be number eight hundred thousand and 9, unless they did things differently back then.

If the FAQs are to be believed, 800009 would be #9 off the line

Build dates by serial number:
Model year-----Production Date----Serial Number
1986--------------8/85 - 6/86------100001-200000
1987--------------6/86 - 7/87------500001-600000
1988-------------7/87 - 12/88-----600001-700000
1989------------12/88 - 12/89-----700001-800000
1990------------12/89 - 11-90-----800001-900000
1991--------------8/90 - 7/91------900001-950000

Oh, nice. I had not seen that.

It appears they DID do things differently back then, lol.

They did Ahha. I did my research before posting that :p.

Is it anymore "collectable" than one that was #45900?

It means you had 8 guys in front of you that complained about the OMP putting the engine into Limp mode...(lol!)

mazda never even made 800,000 RX7 in their 20 year production span, let alone for a single year.



personally unless it was an SA22C with a low number you have nothing special. it's just an early production 1990 FC3S.
i don't even pay attention to production VINs on FCs because it adds nothing to value, maybe a few bucks to an '86 but nothing noteworthy. even then it would have to be unmolested, good condition and low mileage or fully restored to make a dent in the early production rarity value.

now if you had number 1-10 of the first year RX7s were ever produced... that might add some collector value.
