Id say a 1990 GTUs, only about 100. I think there were only 20 black ones, if you want to get specific. The majority of that was red and white.

Maybe because the 10th AE had such crappy paint, the gray primer was showing.

That is BS.

And the most rare is the 90 GTUs, followed by 1995 RX-7, followed by the 10thAE, followed by the 89 GTUs.

Wasn't it also rumored that an s5 NA came with an LSD? I think I read it in the FAQ.

90 GTUs, then Infini's I would think Mark? But I am guessing you were only referring to american models. That and the 92 Vert with the Tan leather, I assume those are pretty damn rare.

Verts all came turbo'd out side of the U.S. - they were called "Cabriolet" models.

No oil leaks?
Replace the shitty original oil cooler lines, and rebuild the motor, dimpling the oil pan mating surfaces - no leaks.

My vote for most rare...a pair of 20B FC's that Mazda was messing around with before the FD was released.
Only TWO in existance that were made by Mazda for testing.

20B FC's are still pretty rare...
