just bought a 83 gsl. 900 dollars didnt know exactly what a rex was untill two months ago. awesome car i will have a lot of fun with it im sure. my question is i read some where that certain options made an 83 rare mine is chateau silver with red pin stripes, grey interior with red stripes on the seats l,lumbar support ,AC,cruise,power everything so is this rare or worth good money stock because its got only 86000 miles on it and its bone stock but i want to rod this rex bad widebody kit 13b so should i leave stock or what??

 

Don't get into these cars thinking you're going to have a "collectible" car anytime soon. My two '68 Firebirds are collectibles, especially since Pontiac bit the dust, but I know the two RX-7's won't be in my lifetime....

Nonetheless, good catch for an 86k car! Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

i understand it wont be a collectible any time soon but what if in 73 someone hacked into you firebird it would make it not as collectible today. i know how you feel i have a 74 plymouth trailduster 4spd 440 all time 4wd and a 67 el camino ss factory clone those both have uncut dashes and are reasonable unmolested classics indeed. just in the long run is this gsl somthing that could be one of those cars in 20 yrs? you know like in the time depicted in mad max

 

They're classics to us, and that's what counts.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome man hope to see some pics

 

congrats on your new car hope to see pics soon!

 

I don't know about Mad Max but you're right...some years down the road, some of the late-Boomers may rediscover the cars and then the prices for unmolested cars will go through the roof since they done got all the money.
Duly noted and absolutely right. Sorry if I came off as some condescending collector snob. Even with the Firebirds, I'm more of a "drive it cuz that's what they made it for" kinda guy. Jay Leno is my hero in that regards also.
