EDIT: Wasnt there a Leather Sport or something like that too?

 

That was a LE leather sport model. It had that stainless steel targa band over the roof...i think,

 

My thoughts:

GS = Grand Sport
GSL = Grand Sport Luxury

 

In 1980, the "Anniversary" RX-7 was released for the 10 years of Mazda in the U.S. market which were all burgundy in color with pinstriping. The Leather Sport introduced later that year. The seats, gearknob and steering wheel was covered in leather. It had gold aluminum wheels and an LS badge on the B-pillar and only 2500 were made.
In 1983 5000 Limited Edition models were released in Chateau Silver paint, red pinstriping, red velour seats and 14" mesh wheels.
All models were based on the GS with a sunroof.

 

in japan they had all kinds of crazy models, i think they had like summer special and spring special or some weird *****. damn i wish i had saved those pictures and pages. i went crazy one night with babblefish and rotaryjapan.com and remember seeing something about crazy sa22c models. maybe some day i will fidn them again

 

In Canada they released a GX model - don't know what years they were manufactured but i had an '83. Came with 4 wheel disc, leather, SS targa band w/ GX badges on the pillor, and came with all the options other than air including sun and solid roof - variety of colors. Sounds like the US LE

 

in america there were teh following
S, GS, GSL, GSL-SE, 79 Limited, 80 Leather sport, 80 Anniversary X, and 83 Limited, I think thats all you could get in America.

 

what about japan with the 12at?

 

I believe the turbo model is called the GT-Turbo

 

didnt we just have an entire thread on this exact topic not too long ago?

 

Exactly, so why are you bumping it...
