1983 MAZDA RX-7 GSL COUPEONE OWNER - Old Lady Absolutely Stock - No Modifications - Never Raced Road & Track's "Best Car for the Eighties"in its class by unanimous vote This car belongs to my mother. She is the original owner. She bought it new in 1983 after my parents divorced. Now she is 81 years old. She adores this car, but it is no longer suitable for her, because it's just too difficult for her to get in and out of it. Even the new hip she had installed hasn't improved the situation. This is the only car she ever bought new. If there is one thing she learned from my father, that's how to take care of a car, and the importance of following the factory-prescribed service intervals. She never drove the car in winter (she bought a little used Toyota as the sacrificial winter runner), and always kept the RX-7 in the garage. She kept the car clean, and never smoked in it. She took the car in regularly for service, and she never permitted anyone other than herself and her mechanic drive the car. It was not easy for her to come to the conclusion that she should let the car go. But she finally made the difficult decision, and asked me and my husband, an experienced mechanic, to see about placing the car for her. This car is like a pet to her, and she hopes we can find someone who will care about and for this vehicle. This sports car needs to be driven.
