I bought my RX-7 brand new back in September 1989. Everytime I think about selling it, I take it for a drive and change my mind. It is showing it's age, but for it's age it is still in great shape.

Anyone else an original owner?

 

I am too young to have been one.

 

I am an original owner, but it is a first gen. 1980.
I love it. It has outlasted two wives, and always treated me better too.

1988 RX-7 convertible. Black/Grey Automatic.
(Yes, they did make 'em, even though they aren't in the enthusiast books)
In storage.
My daily diver is a '90 5 speed Vert.

 

I am! errr, well, sort of. I'm 17, but my dad bought a 5spd '91 vert brand new in (guess when) '91. I was introduced to the amazing rotary engine at 7 years of age. When I turned 15 and got my restricted license, I "inherited" (ie. took) the 7 and have driven/loved it ever since. So, it is original to the family. Oh yeah, it has 62000 miles on it. It had 30000 miles 2 years ago.

I bought my '87 sport and 88 GTU new.

The 88 GTU is down in San Diego in my Dad's garage, with only 55 k miles on it, but the 87 sport is MIA. I sold it a couple of years back, and the friend that bought it from me managed to blow it up within 3 months of owning it.

 

Yes, I bought mine new in 88 because my American POS torqued me off for the last time.

LOL

I am kind of the original owner of my 86 N/A. My dad bought it new and sold it to me in September with 125,000 on the original engine, repainted original maroon, but faded maroon interior. I think he gave me a fair deal on it, paid him $1500. For the last 10 years he has only driven it from June to Sept, garaged the rest of the time. He has taken extremely good care of it, I now drive it daily. Have learned loads from this forum. Get lots of compliments even tho its base model.

 

Mine was bought by my Aunt new off the showroom...I learned to drive on it, took it to my prom....Now, 15 years later..its mine!! Its got 206,000 miles on it, and I just took it out today and did a sweet *** drift!!

 

my car was owned since 91' by the same guy that i bought it off of. he never really reved it up ever so the 6ports were stuck closed but the engine was in fantastic shape.

 

Good question; I've wondered the same thing. 2nd owner 87 TII, still nice and quick.
