1980 sa

Here's my 35,000-some-mile, 1-owner example that I picked up a few months ago.




Shelby wheels



A view of the optional back plate insert.



The RX-7 sitting with my 1996 Miata M-edition. I purchased the RX-7 shortly thereafter.



Interior, with a Clarion stereo installed by the previous and only owner.

Here are some interior pics that continue from the exterior pics I posted earlier in this thread...




Black vinyl all around, with what the previous owner said was an optional chrome trim through the doors and glove box.



Matching rear seats, ordered direct from Japan by original owner.

nice car dude. Those back seats are like none I've ever seen. Weird to see that much seeming space behind the front seats. Csnt be much head room for an average person. But it is very unique and cool. 😎

That is one nice SA you found there. The interior chrome strip was not an option however, just standard interior trim. Take care of those caps at the top of the door pulls. They are a one year only item, have a habit of breaking and its near impossible to find good looking replacements.

Buzzing around a back road in Wisconsin, then putting my bumper back on after a trailer ride home. (Pre new fogs)

when it’s an FB they all look great under all that dirt. You’re just a wash, clay bar and wax away from perfection. Mine was “gray” under all that film and road grime after 31 years. My after rear shot after clay bar..

Thanks guy. Original paint as well. Hard to believe but it’s all original except the RB header exhaust and a short shift kit.

^^Wow, hard to believe it was that dirty and oxidized. Talk about a "diamond in the rough." Amazing end result!
