For auction by private owner (not dealer) is an immaculate 1991 Mazda Rx7 Convertible. This is a second generation model "FC" Rx7 which was produced in convertible form from 1988 through 1991. It is powered by the 13B Mazda rotary engine that produces 160 horsepower. This specific car has 118,000 original miles on it as verified by AutoCheck report. It has always been in Florida until I acquired it so is completely rust free. The red exterior is outstanding with no rust, dents or dings and very good paint. The under chassis is very clean as well. The engine and tranny perform flawlessly; no leaks or unusual noises. The car starts, stops and idles as it should. It has 4-wheel disk brakes and power rack and pinion steering. The Pirelli tires, mounted in the originally equipped BBS wheels, are in excellent shape. The black leather interior is in very good shape. There are no dash cracks and the carpeting is very good. The seats do have a couple minor small tears in the seat cushions. The convertible top is in excellent shape and works as it should. All the electronics work as they should with the exception that the wiper only work on slow speed. I had a mechanic check it out and it needs a new switch. The wiper motor is fine. Some info off the internet... Mazda introduced a convertible version of the RX-7 in 1988 with a normally aspirated engine — introduced to the US market with ads featuring Hollywood actor James Garner, at the time featured in many of Mazda's television advertisements. The convertible featured a removable rigid section over the passengers and a folding textile rear section with heatable rear glass window. Power operated, lowering the top required unlatching two header catches, power lower the top halfway, exiting the car, folding down the rigid section manually, and then further power-lowering the top. Mazda introduced with the convertible the first integral windblocker, a rigid panel that folded up from behind the passenger seats to block unwanted drafts from reaching the passengers — thereby extending the driving season for the car in open mode. The convertible also featured optional headrest mounted audio speakers and a folding vinyl snap-fastened tonneau cover. The convertible assembly was precisely engineered and manufactured, and dropped into the ready body assembly as a complete unit — a first in convertible production. Several leading car magazines at the time also selected the convertible as one of the best rag-tops available on the market (see Automobile Magazine/January 1988, Performance Car Magazine/January 1989). Mazda exported approximately five thousand convertibles to the United States in 1988 and fewer in each of the next three model years, although it is difficult to confirm these figures, as Mazda USA did not keep RX-7 import records by model type. Production ceasing in October 1991 after Mazda marketed a limited run of 500 example for 1992 for the domestic market only. In Japan, the United Kingdom, and other regions outside the US, a turbocharged version of the convertible was available. So here's your chance to purchase a very nice Mazda Rx7 convertible that is ready for the road. Please call me if you have any questions at 502-773-6711.
