Year: 1983
Make: Mazda Model: RX-7 Price: $7500 Mileage: 9352 Color: Blue Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing Location (US State/Canada/Int): IL For sale is an original and unrestored, like new condition 1983 RX-7 S with just 9,352 miles. I bought it last year via auction as a misguided gift idea and now I need to reclaim my garage space! Additional photos available online at http://www.flickr.com/photos/5012844...7633325794618/. SELECTED FEATURES: -Absolutely stock, except for JVC aftermarket radio/CD-player. -1.1L Wankel rotary engine. -Five-speed manual transmission. -Black cloth seats. -Clean Carfax report. -Thick folder of ownership records including extensive maintenance receipts, original bill of sale and window sticker. -Factory shop manual included with sale, plus indoor cover. GENERAL CONDITION: -Starts right up, runs strongly. -Exceptionally clean-looking, inside and out--consistent with its ultra-low mileage. -Brakes well with excellent stopping distance. -Shifts smoothly in all gears, handles beautifully--very entertaining car to drive! -Exterior and interior condition are excellent, very nearly like new. -Tires show plenty of tread and I can detect no dry rot, although they may be original (I couldn't locate dates of manufacture). ITEMS ADDRESSED DURING MY OWNERSHIP: -Seized left-rear wheel repaired (wheel had seized partially); replaced wheel cylinders on both sides. -Repaired emergency brake (e-brake line had been severed, presumably as misguided attempt by someone to repair seized wheel). -Adjusted brakes on all four wheels / bled system. -Throttle cable reconnected (one link to carburetor had been disconnected). -Motor oil changed / oil filter replaced. -Portions of fuel lines replaced (where corrosion was apparent). -Fuel filter replaced. -New battery installed. KNOWN ISSUES: -Starter emits high pitched whining / grinding sound at times; may require rewind or replacement at some point. -May need new right front wheel hub eventually (front suspension occasionally groans over rough pavement). -A/C works but does not blow cold. NB: A/C system has NOT been converted to modern refrigerant. -Power radio antenna is not functional. I have the original power antenna that I'll include in the sale, but its mast is damaged. The radio works well. -Rear-window defrost switch light does not illuminate; could simply be failed light-bulb. BRIEF HISTORY / WHY I'M SELLING: The vehicle was owned by the same family since new, the only registered owners (confirmed by Carfax). The primary owner used the vehicle as a Sunday driver until she became physically unable to enjoy it any longer. I found this vehicle last year (2012) via the Bring-A-Trailer e-newsletter, where it had been listed by the original owner's son. Reading the story inspired me to buy the car as a 75th birthday present for my own mother, who had always wanted an RX-7. Unfortunately, upon presenting the car to her, my mother concluded she wouldn't be comfortable driving a stick at this point in her life! I never titled this vehicle and have simply garaged it until I had time to re-sell it; it's been driven just ~50 miles on my watch. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, WITH NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. I have made my best efforts to present the vehicle openly and honestly, but I am not a mechanic. Buyers are encouraged to ask all questions (312-953-9401 or edwardnichols@yahoo.com). I am happy to facilitate pre-purchase inspections; car is located on the north-side of Chicago. Thanks for looking! |
