Rare RX7s
This may be a dumb thought since I haven't had my coffee yet, but...
Every time I look around online for any RXs for sale, I try to look for anything one would typically consider as a rare or hard to find model (granted all generations of RX7s are rare these days). I've looked for RX2, 3, and 4s and found some here and there. But, for some reason I have an even more challenging time finding any S5 (specifically '91) Turbo IIs. I usually start local, then work my way to regional, and then national. But I tend to find more of the older models in better shape or more complete than any S5s I find. Anyone know why, or can you share any models you can never seem to find? |
S5 TIIs all got painted like a panda and Tokyo drifted into a guardrail.
justkiddingnotreally S5TII, S5 GTUS, pretty much any FD that's not hacked up... GSLSEs are getting more and more rare around my town. I'd love to find a clean REPU |
S5 Turbos are very hard to find - especially those that haven't been messed with. It took me several years just to find my 1990 Turbo II (back in 2006).
Below is a thread that I remember popped up a long time ago that may help you to show why a 1991 Turbo II may be hard for you to find. Here is a snippet of the thread showing 2nd Gen registered RX-7's in the USA back in 2007. https://www.rx7club.com/new-member-r...-there-801647/ 1986 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 9980 Units 1987 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 10812 Units 1988 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 8544 Units 1989 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 2201 Units 1990 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 2848 Units 1991 RX7 COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 2196 Units 1988 RX7 CONVERTIBLE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 5461 Units 1989 RX7 CONVERTIBLE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 1532 Units 1990 RX7 CONVERTIBLE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 2367 Units 1991 RX7 CONVERTIBLE 1.3L 1311cc 13B ROTARY PORT INJECTION N RWD 2253 Units 1987 RX7 TURBO-II COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13BT ROTARY PORT INJECTION T RWD 2584 Units 1988 RX7 TURBO-II COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13BT ROTARY PORT INJECTION T RWD 1748 Units 1989 RX7 TURBO-II COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13BT ROTARY PORT INJECTION T RWD 341 Units 1990 RX7 TURBO-II COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13BT ROTARY PORT INJECTION T RWD 283 Units 1991 RX7 TURBO-II COUPE 1.3L 1311cc 13BT ROTARY PORT INJECTION T RWD 92 Units This doesn't mean you won't find one out there that someone is willing to part with. Be prepared to look far outside your area though. Other models that may be hard for you to find would include the 1988 10th Anniversary Edition, as well as the GTUs model, since there was pretty low production numbers to start with on those. Good luck. |
All/mostly OEM versions of any model is rare. If I had to guess...particularly restored OEM 2's , 3's and RPU's.

yeh finding a 91 turbo 2 is like looking for a needle in a haystack

Thanks for the info everyone. I've been out of the game for so long I forgot a lot of information on RX7s.

Natey, I came across this REPU on Craigslist yesterday:
