Description:

I purchased this Mazda RX-7 FC in September, 1988. At the time I purchased it, it had 205 km. on it from test drives at the dealer.  It now has 62k km. (38.5k miles).

This model is known as the “Base” model in Canada and was known as the “SE” model in the United States. As such, it did not have power steering, power windows, air conditioning or a sun roof. These items, I felt, only added unnecessary weight to what was designed to be a performance sports car.

In April 1990 I had air conditioning installed at the dealer that I purchased the car from.

I have stored the car every winter, only resuming driving it in the spring after several heavy rains that washed the salt dust off the roads.

The only maintenance the car has required is regular oil changes, battery replacements and a master cylinder seal in 2009. In 2007 I purchased a set of used RX-7 GX wheels on eBay and installed Falken ZE512 205/60R14 tires. The rims have some minor curb rash, as can be seen in the photos. I have the original steel wheels and tires.

The air conditioning still blows cold and is R-13 refrigerant.

Compression tests done in July 2022 showed an average (of three tests) of 122, 117, 115 on the front rotor, and 113, 115, 111 on the rear rotor.

The vehicle is completely stock and has the original windshield wipers, lights and brakes.

There is a barely perceptible door ding on the passenger door. There are minor paint touch-ups on the hood and lower wheel wells. The hydraulic lifts on the glass hatch hold the hatch up, but the hatch needs to be lifted a bit before it will raise. The back-up lights are not functioning, and I noticed this only after several years of ownership. I never investigated why.

The vehicle will be sold with the current wheels and tires, the original steel wheels and tires, original brochure and a factory service manual.

The price in is U.S. dollars. The car is located in Ottawa, Ontario and is an easy 45 minute drive on a four lane divided highway from the nearest U.S./Canada border crossing point at Ogdensburg, New York.

If you have any questions, please ask. Please contact me via PMs since I am not on this forum frequently.
