What year had ABS?

I looked in my Haynes manual and it said 87, but I have an 87 gxl and it doesn't have abs.

I think it came standard on 89-91 Turbo II's and Convertibles. At least, it seems that it did.

I would say that nashman69g is correct that
it was an option in all years except for the 86.

I know my '87 does'nt have ABS.. the guy chose not to get it... It was an option on '87s and I don't think it was an option at all on 86 and below, obviously. The turbo 87 may have been the only model that ABS came standard on.

I don't suppose you can put an ABS system in aftermarket can you?? assuming you were the cash god?

Thanks,

Chris

I've only ever seen it on Turbo-IIs. I've looked at probably a hundred RX-7's in the SF Bay area and have never seen ABS on an N/A car, any year. I doubt if anyone ever ordered it as an option, if it was ever available on N/As.
