I think you can go to the DMV and get records for all registered FD's by color, year, etc.I believe its about $6 per state.

White FD's are sex.

Because I was looking for a 94+ car to build. Color didn't matter much but I would have preferred black with black interior. But this was more convenient. I got blown off by some dude in CA with a black car. He reposted it for sale a week after I bought the white roller and his car sold immediately. This car was in my state already behind the shop that was going to build the engine for it. I haven't totally decided on what color I will paint it. I honestly don't like white FDs that much though.


Bring me a 94+ FD with less than 65K miles in good condition and we can trade. Anything other than Montego Blue. But preferably black\black.

Mazda didn't produce black/black, so any car you find like that has had the interior swapped out or changed.

Tyler,

As I recall, my friend David had a 94 R2 that was black on black. I'm not 100% on that, but I'm pretty sure (90%). The seats were black suede for sure. He got rid of the car a couple of years ago.

What's your basis for saying that? I have the factory sales brochures for all three years, 93-95, and all of them show the Brilliant Black exterior available with the black cloth interior. These would be base cars. And if you want to call the R-model seats black, you can throw those in too.

rynberg

Really? My mistake. I'm pretty darn sure that the black leather was never an option with black cars though. It makes sense that the Base and R2 would come with black since those seats were never available in tan or red.

i always thought they came in black/black, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll find one sooner or later . My first FD was a white FD, and I found out the person I sold it to on this forum ruined it with a V8. I sold it in late 99', with 50k miles in pristine condition. It was a base model, and I loved the cloth seats and the fact that it didn't have a sunroof (looks better IMO). Miss the car so much that I know I'm never going to be satisfied until I get another white one.

I didn't know it was that many......always thought the number was in the low 300's.

I have a Black on Black R1 (originally with cloth interior), but its still black on black

JConn2299

Yes, that's right, no black leather with black exterior, but black cloth and black R model seats were available.

As a personal aside, I have the black leather, but the base cloth seats are greatly under-valued. If they're kept clean they can look as good today as the day they were made. Try that with the leather.

JConn2299

Yeah, I'll go along with that. You get more of the double bubble roof effect without the sunroof. I tried to get a base model when I bought my car new in '95. The salesman told me they weren't available. I knew he was wrong but I didn't argue because he was giving me such a good price. Plus I knew the head games I'd be playing with myself. If I had gotten a base car I'd start thinking about adding leather seats, etc. But there's a purity to the base model and it has some distinct advantages, IMO.

I would kill for a white RX-7. I almost bought one with an ugly *** blue and yellow stripe that went the length of the body just because it was white/black MT. I think it was around 12k, but it was obvious it was in at least a small accident. I backed out after the dealer tried to hide the fact it was in an accident even though I had the carfax.

....Gotta be the same car I saw in MD a few years ago, yellow and blue stripe painted, going up the hood and the full length of the car. Had a supra style spoiler on it when I saw it. Hideous, I almost yelled at the seller.

'94 Base white with 82,000 miles JM1FD3337R0302XXX.

When I bought it new I really wanted it in white and I wanted the black cloth interior but I wanted the "go fast" R2. So... I bought my white base model and put the OEM R1/2 dual oil cooler setup on it, replaced the V rated Bridgestone's with Z's and finally (13 years later) replaced my dampers with a set of GAB Super R's. I'm happy.

there were origionally 670 white FDs produced, how many are left now is a mystery that wouldnt be easy to figure out but figure probably around 100 of those made are dead so roughly 500-570 remain.

Which ones did come with an all black interior? I'm not big on leather but I like the R1 seats. I also don't like tan interiors that much.

try this new link...old one didn't work for me.

JConn2299

From what I see in the sales brochures for 93-95 all Base models in the U.S. came with a black cloth interior. In 93 you could order leather seats as a stand alone option on the base car (as distinct from the Touring model or the later PEP/PEG options.)

The R models had the "black" synthetic suede seats. So if you want the R seats you'll have to find an R model car.

There may have been a few custom orders that violated these rules, and of course later owners could mix and match parts.
