I Have Never Seen an Orange RX7 Before

This car is for sale. Looks clean, but something bothers me about it.

1991 Mazda RX7 stick shift 2 doors 170k miles1owner

I have never seen an orange RX7 before. Is it an original colour? If its all original and in this condition, the price seems fair.

The ad says red, so I think it's just a really crappy phone camera, possibly combined with some fading - although the paint looks glossy, and the S5 red tends to fade pink, rather than the orange the red on S4s tends to fade to. The colour balance of everything in the pictures looks really off. If not a bad camera, they may have some effect turned on - it's almost like the sepia setting on my phone camera - or one called "Vintage warm", which adds the orange-brown of sepia, without flattening the colour to greyscale first.

"No accidents" it says, yet it's wearing an S4 nose and side trim ahead of the wheels, while the rest of the car has the S5 rub strips and rear bumper. The white pinstripe is not usually seen on S5s either (but that could be a dealer add-on or previous owner) - might be that the front bumper, and maybe fenders and hood were salvaged from an S4 for an accident repair - which might account for why a photo effect was applied, to wash out the difference in paint colours, if the parts weren't repainted to match (or if they were, and were badly matched). The one pic of an automatic-equipped Toyota interior might have just been accidentally added to the upload.

Mind, another look at the ad and I see it says no dents - but there are clearly dents on the right rear quarter panel above and below the rub strip. It looks like a pretty clean car in the pics, just the same, but I'd want a close look at that body to see it's straight.

All the photos have filters hence why it looks like so. That random pic of a Toyota interior was probably just a mistake lol.
