1985 was the last year Mazda offered the 'tear-drop' RX-7 chassis that offered Rotary power for the first time in a Mazda product. This rare ownership opportunity is headlined by the revolutionary 'Wankel' Rotary engine. The Rotary engine defied the norm with its design by featuring a triangular rotor that revolves around the combustion chamber instead of traditional pistons, resulting in a much smaller displacement. On top of this, the engine was so light and compact that it could be mounted behind the front axle and meant the RX-7 could achieve a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Following the initial success of the 12A engine, Mazda continued to offer it in the 1985 model year such as this vehicle. Estimated horsepower was an even 100 which on a small, nimble car is a healthy number for some high rev line fun. Paired to this peppy motor is a responsive 5-speed manual transmission that had a clutch swap in 2006 according to the seller's records. The car comes in its original Black paintjob that has held up well over the course of its life although there are some small rock chips on the front end from highway driving. Aluminum alloy sport wheels give...

Mazda has always been an automaker which has forged its own path. With unique innovations like the Wankel Rotary engine Mazda has a highly lauded history in both motorsports and the consumer market. In the early 80s the pinnacle of Mazda's design and engineering was the RX-7. A lightweight sports car that was known for its dynamic handling and high revving rotary engine. This 1985 example is truly a sight to behold in its black paint job. As you walk around the vehicle you'll notice nice details like the red pinstripes and twin exhaust tips. The interior is upholstered in red leather and the controls are ergonomically placed in such a way that you feel like a real pro driver! Under the hood is a 12A 1. 1L rotary engine which revs...

When talking about Japanese sports car, it's impossible not to mention the RX-7. Mazda first offered the car in 1978 with a revolutionary engine. The Wankel rotary was an engine which defied the norm with its design. The engine has no pistons, but rather a triangular rotor which rotates around the combustion chamber. The result is a much smaller displacement than the typical piston engine. This RX-7 sports a 1,146cc 12A rotary engine. This engine produced just over 100 horsepower, but was lightweight which allowed the car to have an incredibly balanced 50/50 weight distribution. The entire car was under 2,500 pounds, so there's no doubt why they handle on rails. This particular example is a well maintained 31,079 mile car. The exterior color is Gold matched with a Gold and Brown two tone interior. Options on this...

The entire car was under 2,500 pounds, so there is no doubt why they handle very well. This particular example is a well maintained 76,504 mile car which is a total survivor.

Mazda first offered the revolutionary --Wankel- rotary engine powering this RX-7 in 1978. The engine defied the norm with its design by featuring a triangular rotor that revolves around the combustion chamber instead of the traditional pistons, resulting in a much smaller displacement. On top of this, the engine was so light and compact that it could be mounted behind the front axle and meant the RX-7 had a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Following the initial success of the 12A engine, Mazda introduced the slightly higher displacement 13B rotary engine with a larger output of 135hp that was exclusive to the GSL-SE in 1984/85. Paired to this peppy motor is a responsive 5-speed manual transmission and unique to the GSL-SE over base model RX-7-s is limited slip differential, larger brakes and distinctive wheels (the owner has stated he will include these original wheels with the sale). Our RX-7 for sale right now in our Scottsdale location is quite possibly the best example I have ever seen, and I grew up seeing these cars all over the place on the West Coast in the 1990-s! The car has been repainted in its original silver, it features a...
