Vehicle Description
Sleek, sporty, quick, and distinct, the 1988 Mazda RX-7 is a rising
star in the world of Japanese classics. And this is a one-owner
coupe that's running a younger replacement motor. So it's great to
see you can get a loaded and respected classic for such an
obtainable price.
Arctic Silver Metallic is a color with timeless appeal, and in
fact, the second-gen RX-7 coupe is all about providing everlasting
appeal. The long hood with flat front end, well-defined fenders,
and fastback rear will always be in good company. In fact, Mazda
looks like they borrowed a few styling cues from Porsche. This
coupe has been enjoyed like a driver's machine should, but the
right respect over a one-owner lifetime means you also see the
right care and investments. That's why the paint was given a
partial respray later in life to still give a nice gloss today. It
really has an awesome look with the distinct 14-inch factory
alloys, attractive black rub strip that encircle the car, and the
way the sunroof looks like a spoiler when you open this up to the
world.
The sea of blue continues inside. The carpeting, door panels, dash,
and essentials have the feeling of originality. Even the dome light
still works. So you get to see some interesting details, like the
multi-tone cloth inserts in the seats. You'll slip into the comfy
leather bucket seat and grab the sporty three-spoke steering wheel.
Your heart will begin beating a bit faster as you watch the
red-faced gauges begin to dance. The tach is prominently the center
- another nod to Porsches. But more than just a pure sports
machine, the RX-7 is great for the grand tour. In fact, the center
stack still has the factory air conditioning control and radio.
These will need servicing, but the sale already comes with an
aftermarket radio that's ready to install.
The RX7's real calling card was the revolutionary two-rotor Wankel
engine. The odometer reflects the body's actual mileage on this
one-owner car, but the motor was actually replaced only about 10k
miles ago. It may be listed as a 1.3-liter but that's deceiving. It
has a compact size that gives you a better center of gravity, but
the special rotary setup has the kind of detonation and power of
your other favorite Japanese sports cars of the era like the 300ZX
and the Supra. And unlike those, they don't get to rev as high or
feel as smooth. The full package makes for a great grand touring
classic. After all, the four-speed automatic transmission
w/overdrive, fully independent suspension, well-balanced weight
distribution, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brake
package combine to offer the ideal mixture of performance and
comfort.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet, service
records, service manuals, receipts, and some extra components. You
even have a car bra and full car cover. This is the distinct and
affordable coupe that loves the open road. So it's time to grab an
affordable deal while you can. Call today!!!
