and the heavens opened, and birds were singing, and someone is finally selling the RAREST convertible. How rare you ask? We'll I've seen about 15 mica blue verts, and they were ALL automatic.

If you could find a 1992/91 vert, that would probably be the rarest 2nd gen - even rarer than the black GTU-S

This is THE BEST color on the convertible if you ask me

That mica vert is not a '91. Why do they not say what year it is in the description?

I have a white '91 convertible, 5spd, 62000 miles (the rarest 2nd gen?). My father bought the car brand new in 1991, when I was only 7. I turned 16, and it became my car, so it is a one family owned car. I am absolutely in love RX7s now. I currently own four (yes, 4) of them (3 turbos, plus the vert), and I am only 17!

i own 4 of them too pony killer :-D all are n/a though about to own 5 gonna go buy an 89 GTU with my income tax return

 

oh yea, im 17 too

 

Wow, I have never seen a Mica Blue 91/92 vert with a Manual tranny.

Didn't think they even made any

 

We can never have too many!!!

 

nope

 

Where does it say that is a '91 in the ad?

 

Agent_D can i have one of your 5

 

i have a rebuilder for ya its an 87 that needs an engine and tranny, but i live WAY far away from ya lol

 

lol yup a litte to far and i dont think a rex will fit in a fedx box either lol

 

LOLOLOL

 

That is such a beautiful car...

There are two immaculate 'verts running around town...one black, one red, both gorgeous. I've never seen a blue one in person, and apparently I'm missing out.

 

Agent D- You ever cruise on Gratiot on a Fri/Sat night?
I love the cars there..... I love racing!

Ya, I admit... I street race.... Hey- you live once... I dont let it wind out to ridiculous speeds like some people do though- by 4rth gear you should know if you are beat or not. If you dont you are too dumb to be racing anyways.

 

Yo,


Blah blah blah, rarest this, rarest that. The GTUs is the rarest! We're talking an RX-7 /model/ here, not some measly paint code. Same with the CYM R1. It's just paint, not a model.

No one has yet to come up with hard numbers on how many GTUs models were made in 1989. 1000? 1100? 900? We know there were 100 made in 1990.

GTUs = Rarest!

*grin*

KS
1989 GTUs "If they're so rare, why do I see so many?"

 

I thought all verts sold in the U.S. had airbags????

 

That vert is an 89. It says it in the auction title.

 

LOL.. my 3rd gear ran out at pretty high speeds.... id say speeds probably too fast for the street.

I want to kick myself in the face for not being able to buy that black '89 GTUs.

Someday...I shall find one equally as striking.

 

Let's review

Yes that's not a 91

I'm saying a 91 mica blue vert with stickshift IS the rarest RX-7 as far as model, year, & paint codes go.

Mica blue was rare to start with, but on the last year covertible it's practically unheard of.

This is the first mica blue 5 speed I've seen PERIOD. All others were the heavier automatics/airbag model.

So if you find one, buy it

Seems like there were 3 paint codes found on the GTU-S, but there were more GTU-S sold with those paint codes than 5 speed mica blue convertibles.

The reason I like mica blue is it's just dark enough to accent the lines (whereas white hides the lines) and light enough to give the vert the "openess" look.

Yummy.

 

I should be getting an '88 vert, 5 speed in that color if all goes well.

 

Gosh, and before I looked at those pictures, I was thinking about selling my vert when it gets out of the shop (water pump went out)...now, you got me all sentimental! Lol, I guess it won't hurt me to keep her!
God Bless!!
