Just a few days ago, I had one of the best days of my life.

It started out with myself and a friend embarking early in my FC gearing up for a 5 hour drive North. My FC is beautiful. Saved it from a storage unit where it sat for over 10 years stalled at 71,000 miles. Replaced the blown motor, and she's been running great ever since. (My friend who introduced me to Rotaries has the flat black/white GTU.)





About a year and a half later, it was time to persue an FD. Silver. Manual. 1993. It was/is perfect. Just like my FC, here was a silver FD. Just like my FC, first year of this generation. Just like my FC, except with twin turbos.

My FC brought me, literally, to this FD. Less than 24,000 miles. One owner. Stock.







Now here's where the day went from amazing to one of the best days of my life. On the way back home, my friend spots an FB off the road at this airport/hangar sitting outside. He radios me that we should turn around, so of course we do. Once we pull up we realize true beauty.







If it's not obvious, we have here:

1984 GSL-SE (first year of the 13B in 1st Gens)
1986 Base (first year of the 2nd Gens)
1993 Touring (first year of the 3rd Gens)

All 13B's, silver, manuals and the first of their "kind".

The FB was in show room condition, seriously. What was more surprising is the body had 204,000 miles on her! He had to replace the motor once, due to the original overheating. He's had it since '84. All of us were in awe at this amazing site. My friend and I were privledged enough to drive his GSL-SE. It was so "new" feeling, smooth, and jaw dropping. He truly cared for his RX-7.







I still cannot believe how astonishing this trip was.

FC brought me to the FD which lead me to an FB.

What a day.

 

Did you buy the FB too? If not, you should have. lol

 

AWESOME now i hope you have 3 wallets in your single back pocket.LOL J/K awesome finds.

Do you happen to have this image in a higher resolution? It'd make a gnarly wallpaper.

 

Hopefully that'll work, and I agree!

Actually he had the GSL-SE for sale! Unfortunately.. I didn't have enough to cover it. Hopefully he'll still have it when I do though!

 

nice. good to see outher rx owners . last one I met was A 70 year old lady in a first gen.

 

Sweet find.

 

lol @ bikojohn, that's great. Really, it is.

This gentleman was probably early 60's or so.

Thanks guys/gals!

 

That is truly fantastic.

 

Thanks! It's awesome to see the full lineup of RX7 generations, but i've never seen a lineup with such pristine vehicles. Thanks for the wallpaper.

 

No problem.

and thank you!

 

Love it!

 

great story

 

very pretty cars

 

That FD sounds like a great find. Good to know that it went from one owner who cared for it passed it on to another that will do the same. Your FC looks great. Congrats on the new purchase.

 

So who drove the silver FC?

 

My friend, who owns the black/white (for sale, by the way), drove my FC back. Well, I was generous enough to let him hop in the FD occassionally on the way back :P

 

wow, what a beautiful site!

 

after all these years all three cars look stock still!

 

Which is why I want that GSL-SE so badly! I took his number down at least

Thanks again, guys.

 

Thats pretty sweet getting a picture of all 3 gens the same color.

 

Yep, yep. They all had different interiors, too lol


So now it has me curious... other RX-7 stories? I'm sure there's better ones than mine. I'd like to hear 'em!
