Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
From Mazdamark.com:
It was also the only FC available with Ultrasonic alarm sensors (early form of the proximity sensors of today) as an option.
In 1988 Mazda also celebrated the first 10 years production of the RX-7 with a special, limited edition turbo model. The celebratory tenth anniversary model RX-7 came standard with many of the options found available on the other models including air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power door locks, electric side mirrors, electric sliding sunroof, cruise control, premium 120 watt stereo system, security system, black leather seats, as well as including 10th Anniversary specific only special Momo shifter and custom leather shift boot, special emblems, bronze tinted windows, special keys and leather wrapped steering wheel. These added options increased the 10th Anniversary edition to a Portly 3050 lb (as reported by Road & Track).
The 10th AE was exclusively available in a monochromatic crystal white finish. The body trim, tail lamp trim and the standard 16 inch alloy wheels were white. The monochromatic paint scheme set the 10th anniversary apart from any other RX-7. Production was limited to 1500.

This is what makes it special. Well put Mazda Mark. I've only seen 2 in person. There both in the KC club. One was built to 408rwhp and is daily driven. Very nice cars. Just my 2 cents.

"10 years of history with the RX-7 led Mazda to celebrate their success with a special, limited production model. They wanted this car to be the culmination of many years of dedication and perseverance in perfecting the revolutionary (no pun intended) rotary engine. They chose the powerful 13BT engine with it's 182 horsepower, and then decked it out with every possible option including:
air conditioning
power steering
power windows
power door locks
electric side mirrors
sliding sunroof
cruise control
premium 120 watt stereo system
security system
black leather seats
leather wrapped steering wheel
Momo shifter
bronze tinted windows "
this sounds really unlike the mazda we know and love today..... all that extra weight.. all that extra weight... and to top it off:
the beatest set of 4 wheels the world has seen to date.. lol

I ran a report, only 340 10thAE show up currently as registered in the USA.
Now that doesn't mean that for the remaining 1100 or so, that people don't have them just sitting in garages somewhere... or that they are in Canada or Europe... But it would be nice to think that of that 340, the rest are gone to be big wrecking yard in the sky.

I just bought one here in KY that hasn't been licensed in over a year...
And, they may be heavier, but it is a nicer car compared to my base '86, especially condisering the T04, E6K, and other goodies...
