It was part of the 10th AE package that included the stuffed toy, special floormats, etc.

here's a question...how do you tell what number your A.E. is out of 1500? does it say anywhere in the car? when i bought mine, it didnt come with the manual or anything...so i'm just kinda curious if there's another way of telling what number it is...thanks!

"Exceptional Resale Value.......An 87' RX7 will bring 88% of it's original sticker price......" Now that would be nice wouldn't it.

thats a good question. i believe that the only way to tell is by the VIN. it would be fairly difficult as the 10AE's were produced on the same line as the other 88 RX-7's. from what i remember reading here, the 10AE's were produced in spurts and not all at once. Ted has this registry http://www.fc3spro.com/reg.html
on his site. i started one here https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/1988-10th-anniversary-edition-owners-registry-add-your-10th-ae-vin-list-597035/page18/ that has grown to 18 pages. between both registries we can fine some numerical vins and MAYBE put together some sort of a production order. its going to be nearly impossible to know how many 10AE's are actually still on the road or rotting away in someone's garage/yard. i've thought about getting the VINs off of ebay and keeping track of those and the one's off of autotrader.com and writing down the vins and making a seperate list for 10AE records and see where we are as far as 10AE numbers. thats a lot of workand i've just been too busy with my 10AE and TII to do anything with that. maybe i'll start one though.

Partly true. Most of the ancillary items such as the stuffed toy (oddly it is the red T2 w/87 features), folder with the brochure and specials sheets about the alarm and all never actually made it to the original owners, as the dealers swiped the stuff. My 10th was one of two sold through a Pensacola, Florida dealership. Dale Clark wound up with the other one. We both got our cars from the original owners. My car did not come with the bra (luckily I found one on eBay years ago), nor even the folder, but Dale had the folder for his. To my knowledge, the bras were extra, as the original owner of my car said he could have bought one but opted not to, as he didn't care for bras since he thought they hurt the paint. I got my car back in 1998, so I hope I'm remembering the story correctly. I think Dale's old car was originally bought by a dentist or doctor. My car's owner knew about that, as the dealership was trying to hype up the other car, pointing out that people of prestigious professions were buying them (mine was just over $28k out the door). Didn't have to "fluff" my car's original owner- he is an engineer, and wanted the 10th specifically... he said he waited a year or so before buying his car instead of a standard Turbo II, because he had heard the 10th was coming. He told me the 10th had something of a $8-9k premium over the basic T2s. Not sure about that, but I can believe it.

Neil, the sticker premium was about 2K over the stock TII. the bra was a $150 optional accessory. i'm not too sure about the moonroof being produced by mazda or pacific. same applies with the FB's glass roof. i'll have to look at the stampings on my FB's glass roof and the 10AE's glass roof and compare. its interesting that you brought that up, as i never thought about who actually made the glass roofs.

Check all you want...

Mazda did not make the glass moonroofs, and you could not order an FC from the factory with one. All 10th Anniversary Editions were identical to one another with only one exception I have found over the past 15 years- the "MAZDA" decal on the front bumper cover. Some seem to have had it, some did not (mine happens to).

It is possible that the original owner had the glass moonroof installed by a dealer, but it was not a Mazda made option, though they were often times sold by dealers as a dealer accessory, but not a factory one.

The first run had the sticker, the 2nd run did not.

Icemark-

I'm assuming at the same VIN split where the fender emblems changed from the white gold to the yellow gold (or vice-versa, can't remember which was first off-hand), yes?
