Eci Elite 94 Rx-7

I know this has been discussed before, but I started to think about this again after reading the March 2003 edition of Sport Compact Car where it gives a rundown of the types and amounts of 3rd gens imported from 93-95. Here is the rundown they gave:


1993

Base M/T = 1,734
Base A/T = 390
Touring M/T = 4,568
Touring A/T = 1,119
R1 = 2,165

Total = 9,976

1994

Base M/T = 300
Base A/T = 110
Touring M/T = 1,393
Touring A/T = 295
R2 = 395
PEG/PEP M/T = 910

Total = 3,403

1995

Base M/T = 82
Base A/T = 26
Touring M/T = 0
Touring A/T = 0
R2 = 57
PEP M/T = 299
PEP A/T = 36

Total = 500

1993-1995 Production Totals

Base M/T = 2,116
Base A/T = 526
Touring M/T = 5,961
Touring A/T = 1,414
R1/R2 = 2,617
PEG/PEP M/T = 1,209
PEG/PEP A/T = 36
Total = 13,879

What do you guys think? We are a rare breed either way.

Great I'm 1 of 1,734. And even better..being a '93 Base Brilliant Black w/ tan leather .. that's 1 of 418! Damn I love 7's.

RonKMiller

Yet more reasons NOT to radically mod your FD3S, but - It's a disease......and I've got it.

karken29

Damn... I almost increased the value of everybody's 7's when I crashed mine... luckily it can be fixed.... 93 R-1..

Mr. Stock

Just looking over those numbers brings me to ponder the possibility of the 3rd gen increasing in value as the cars are now beginning to be a decade old.

I mean if Mercedes Benz 190 SL can be a collector's car, FD3S must one day become a highly desirable collectable. But that won't happen for another 10 years or so.

i have one of those. where did you get 1 of 418. my car was also one of the weird ones a base model with leather and cruise optioned in

rx7machine

Yea they kick ***. I can't remember where I got those #'s. But I do remember seeing it on more than one site. I'll get back to you when I find it again.

i know the base with leather and cruise was pretty damn rare. but not rare in a "increase the value of your FD way"

Cetchup

i have a VR base with sunroof,cruise and tan leather. I replaced the seats with R1s though.

LilFatCrazyWop

why would some one buy a automatic sports car?

rx7machine

check this out: It doesn't say anything about our tan leather and cruise control.. so I guess that would make it even more rare.. That is if these numbers are correct. Maybe I can find another site to verify this.

That would be nice though..

Talking about rarity - I own one of TWO FDs in country

ejmack1

to do a conversion!!!

rx7machine

Which one's that?

ricola555

FD's are rare? What is rare is to spend money on my FD and not get bitched at by my girlfriend for throwing money at a money pit.

kento1

Well, there's one less FD in the U.S. unfortunately. The poor silver FD that some idiot rolled before he sold it to "bust" on the list ("RX-7 I bought on eBay TILL IT WAS DESTROYED" thread)
