Always wanted an FD RX7 , recently got a Turbo II and love it although I have been bringing it back to life so to speak, I always wanted to buy an original owner low mileage FD. I know they didn't sell many here, but being its a true sports car I am guessing many got parked and forgotten about. It made me wonder, how many original owner cars may actually be left? Did anyone here buy there FD New?

 

I was fortunate enough to pickup mine off lease from a doctor after his 4yr lease ran its course. While he was technically the first to “own” it, I think you can say I’m an actual first owner of the vehicle.
I would count myself as an original true owner of my 94 Canadian FD. 26yrs and still going strong.

I didn't even know that exists, Thank you

 

As I stated to CS in a private message, I am the original owner of a 1994 Touring. Prior to the FD, I owned a 1986 FC, also brand new, and a used 1980 FB, bought is late 1980. I have had RX7's for 44 years (I'm 65 y/o). I bought the FD in Chicago in late 1994 or early 1995 for $33,500 with the list around $35,000. It was fairly easy to find one back then since that was an expensive car in those years.

You gotta grab it all the way up here in Chicago?

 

Born and raised in Chicago, mostly suburbs. Moved to Huntsville, AL in 1998.

Mikejokich and I have led somewhat parallel lives. My first new car was a 1981 FB, base S trim in Tornado Silver with black cloth, which I drove home just before Christmas in 1980. Sold the FB when I bought a new home, then a few years later picked up an FC Turbo II in 1987. Black with grey cloth interior. Sold the FC to my brother and a few years later bought the FD in July of ’93. Currently at 137K miles and still going strong. She’s a keeper! So I’ve had the good fortune to be the original owner of each generation.

 

Shall we start an "Old Guys with FD" thread?

My 1st RX7 was a yellow FB which I bought new in 1979 after I sold my (also bought new) Datsun 240Z.
