What is the rarest, most collectable 3rd-gen?
 
I know I want to buy another FD once I pay this one off, one with less miles and more value as a collector's peice. What is the most prized 3rd-gen. model? Is it the competition-yellow-mica R1? Or the chaste-white R2's? Or is it the '02 Spirit-R? (can you even find a genuine Spirit-R available for sale these days). Or maybe something else? What kind of price do you think the car would go for in today's market?

No doubt Spirit R's, good luck on getting it though

seanbrowning 06-17-06 01:19 PM

Well yeah spirit R, but personally a '95 chase white is rare as a mofo, so I'd pick one of those up since they are GORGEOUS. :)

Stephen C 06-17-06 01:22 PM

What do you think a numbers-matching, low-mileage, chaste-white '95 R2 will sell for?

P.S.
Is it called "chaste-white" or "chase-white"?

seanbrowning 06-17-06 01:32 PM

No idea, but if you're look at low mileage, be ready to dish it out. I found a '95 Black R2 with 50k miles and I was ready to turn out 16k in a heart beat because that car is worth 20k+ in my mind. I mean go look at how many '95 there are registered in the US, you have to take that into consideration. :)

is chaste-white.

U can get a good running chaste white for about $15 to 20K, that is really low milage.

tokamike 06-17-06 02:28 PM

It's Chaste White. However, 1994 and 1995 R2's did not come in Chaste White- they only came in Brilliant Black, Vintage Red, and Silverstone Metallic. If you do see a 1995 CW R2, it's not original.

1993 R1's came in Brilliant Black, Vintage Red, and Competition Yellow Mica.

The rarest FD is Pearl White, and there was only one made.

Its also impossible to find. Some say that Mazda still has a hold of it at their HQ. But, when I spoke to numerous Mazda reps. All confirmed that they no longer have it. Nor, do they know where it is. How do you lose a car like that? Anyway, I doubt youll be able to find this gem.

crassfc3s 06-17-06 05:02 PM

i can get you a spirit r, no bs no fucking around. wont finance youll have to work that out on your own but if your serious i can get you one. mint no miles still has plastic on it. rhd the works pm me if you want to know

ErnieT 06-17-06 05:32 PM

CYM hands down! :D, of course Im biased....

seanbrowning 06-17-06 05:42 PM

CYM isn't really that rare, weren't there less whites made in some models and CYM? I may be misinformed, but I thought I had read that somewhere. Really, a White '95 with low mileage and untouched would be my pick.

crassfc3s 06-17-06 06:01 PM

cyms are rare.....

Let me clear it up for you. CYM is the rarest color/model RX7. There were only 350 EVER made. Less than any other made.

DaiOni 06-17-06 06:54 PM

Most collectable, hands down, would be the australian SP - lowest ever production run, most power (debatable), absolutely the best selection of (mostly unique) upgrades.

some might say the sp-II - but as there is only one of those, and it wasn't, technically, sold from the showroom (it was patched back together from the base car and its parts), its status is tenuous.

cym ,350 ever produced is pretty rare in the u.s.i bought mine from the orignal owner bone stock 3 years ago paid $24.000 for it.The vechicle still had the plastic on the pass seat and on the door sills,new car smell and all.good luck on your search

BMike 06-17-06 07:19 PM

Keep in mind, a Silver R2 is actually rarer when looking at packages and production #s than a CYM R1. But overall in less "desirable" packages there were more silvers. I'd say either a Silver R2 or a CYM R1 would be the two most sought after models.

Doc-1 06-17-06 07:33 PM

To the best of my knowledge the rarest is a factory rally car. About 156 we made and shipped out. Take your time and find one. It will be worth big money. Or get a production model. It will be worth some coin also.

I say the Australian RX7-SP
I might be a bit bias.
some of the upgrade parts all made from Carbon Fibre (big task for 1994)
