FS: 1987 Mazda Rx-7 GXL - $1400 (St. Paul, MN)

1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL - $1,400

*** Update added to the bottom of the post, sale now includes some extras ***

If this post is still viewable the car is still for sale, I will delete the post once it's gone!

133,xxx miles

Come take a look, this car served as my off again, on again daily driver and would make a fun beater/project car.



The good:

• Tires have a good amount of meat left.
• Replaced front calipers, all four discs and swapped rubber brake lines for braided stainless steel 15,000 miles ago.
• Water pump replaced 10,000 miles ago.
• Full Racing Beat exhaust including headers.
• 15" BBS aluminum alloy convertible wheels.
• Runs fine once warm, still averages 15mpg during mixed city/highway driving.
• Not burning coolant or abnormal amounts of oil, runs nice and cool (for a rotary.)
• Power windows and sunroof function.
• Emissions and oil injection system removed, runs a 100:1 mix of two cycle oil.
• Includes Miami Vice mix CD

The bad:

• The paint is not the greatest, car has been re-sprayed a couple of times.
• The body, lots of little dents and nicks, pretty standard for a daily driven 25 year old sports car.
• Rear wheel bearings are starting to make noise after I garaged the car for a few months.
• Fuel injectors need work, the car runs richer than it should and there is a small amount of fuel entering the intake overnight so it doesn't run great until it warms up and the injectors start cycling correctly. A fuel cut-off switch is wired in to combat this and usually doesn't need to be used unless the car hasn't been fully warmed up.
• The interior is fair condition but the driver's seat is a little beat up and a lot of the common weak panels have cracks. Rear seats are installed but only one full set of seatbelts is installed.

Update: Cleaned out my storage and found a few spare parts, the following will be included in the sale:

• S5 upper intake, modified to fit on an S4 (includes working VDI actuator.)
• 320mm knock-off Mazdaspeed steering wheel and the appropriate boss
• Fiberglass/MDF custom molded sub woofer box, 10" opening, fits nicely in the niche between passenger strut tower and rear of hatch area.
• S4 headlight switch (was a little flaky, needs a good cleaning and resolder.)
• S4 blinker switch.
• Left and right steering knuckles with 5-port hubs.
• New in box set of rear inner and outer wheel bearings
• New in box engine side fuel filter.
• White S5 Turbo II style wing, skin is cracked in a couple of spots.

 

oh that's awfully tempting. too bad i need a winter beater and not a project car.

 

Beautiful car, good luck with the sale. Still keeping the FB in the avatar pic??

 

Oh boy....temptation. Temptation....

 

Its not my FC, it a buddy of mine. No the fb I own has no value with the issues it has so that's just sitting till I have the time,money and determination to get that rolling again.
