Ultra low mileage relics are always bittersweet things. In one vein, it's great to see a rolling time capsule, perfectly displaying what the factory fresh car was from whatever year, but then you can't really drive it otherwise, eventually, it won't be factory fresh anymore. Given the current used car market, if I owned this I would try to sell it on to a museum or something (I'm sure the Mazda Classic Museum in Germany would snap it up), and use a portion of my windfall to buy a mint, albeit driven, example of the same car or something else.
Cars need to be Driven, too. I would prefer a maintained 100k mile classic over a 20k mile one needing seals, dried out all things.. bad bad bad! Been there. Save your money. Buy the one driven!
Zach-love the video and car-I own 2 Rx7-one is 1983 with 6,800 miles GSL the other is an 83 GSL with-19,000 miles. My first was a1981 that I owned for 29 years-love all your videos about 1st gen Rx7’s
I'm not a huge fb guy but I am a fanatic with original cars. A car can only be original once! I went to a import show at Mohegan sun and I stopped dead in my tracks and was in awe over a 82 Nissan sentra with only 11k on it.
THIS CAR IS SUWEEEET! I had one back in the day, it was such a big part of my life then. I had it for 13 years, it was such a cool car, I cried when I sold it. I still have a lot of the Rotary Rocket magazines and some of the club stuff.
Really enjoyed this video! I miss my 1980 RX-7! Memories! I was tempted, though, to play the drinking game every time the word “so” was spoken… LOL! Great job! ✌🏻😎🎹🌴🌞
Yea I totally agree. Because this car was literally my life for years. It nearly brings me to tears that car and the life I had when had driven it. Lucky 7's if you owned one they changed your life. I wish I still had my first one. I never let it get unperfect!.
Honestly clean survival cars are more fun than exotics. With them you know your getting what your getting. Now 80's/90's that's where they really tried. At least to be "different, not better."
Can anyone clarify something? I've been told the FB S2 had the rear plate below the rear bumper, and the FB S3 moved the plate above the rear bumper. But I've also seen some that reverse that pattern.
Those walk around are nice content. I find it more natural than your reviews. They will definitely help you build a community around your automotive content, but maybe not grow the audience that much. That being said. I don't think those videos would get you much views compared to your regular car reviews, so you do you

You are motivating me to get out my 1980 Mazda Rx7 back on the road. First & only owner.
Thanks for this Zack. Had two of those (SA) and now on my second FC in almost the same shape, but this one...WOW!

I'm not even into these and this is amazing. Great video and great job keeping it!
What an OPPORTUNITY! Feel bad for original owner. Thanks Zack.
All rotary content is good rotary content!!
Man, it's crazy you were able to find one like that, I hope you come across an FC next

This should be in a museum

Wow that’s just amazing but all I could think about the entire time was how bad I felt for the original owner, never getting to enjoy the car. RIP
Yeah, sounded like a sad story, poor guy breaks his back, lives in pain and dies approximately 32 years later.😕

Excellent review 👏 I enjoyed it very much. Please continue doing more reviews and walking around of Mazda RX7.
ZACK you keep killing it... Your subs are just going up...keep bringing that weird and never forgotten
Such a great reference for us stock FB owners. Thanks for documenting this!
Dang beatiful red, and the engine I kept just emaculate like new.
I’ve got an 85 gsl se all original mint. Selling for 14,000 Canadian 88000 miles

How special is this! You are a lucky guy my friend!
I actually found an 85 gsl in sky blue that looks as nice.
Can anyone clarify something? I've been told the FB S2 had the rear plate below the rear bumper, and the FB S3 moved the plate above the rear bumper. But I've also seen some that reverse that pattern.
the door didn't squeak
Nice video... That car is dream! How on earth did you even find out this car existed?

@Shooting Cars I bet it smells AWSOME inside!
That’s a gem
Do I own the Highest? My 84 GSL-SE has 250,00. Thumbs up for the video.
Great Job!
Asplenia.
That's my baby best of times in life.
I’m starting a Car lot that sells New 80’s & 90’s model Japanese Vehicles including Ford & Chevy!💚
Ya I had that idea already
@@boobbutthole9537 Ok.. Cool! Hope you put it in Motion
Omg i will kill for that car jajaka
Awesome
What was the MSRP?
I have one for sale still in Wisconsin with 85k original miles everything all original same color
My 1982 rx7 has over 200k kilometres on it and almost looks as brand new as this one
Hehe nice, and very interesting story. Does it run well?
I want this exact car so bad. I wonder what they would sale it for...
Any update on what happend to the car and if they are keeping it? I had an 85 and am looking for one to buy soon.
It ended up selling for close to $50k
The carpet under the floor mat has what looks like some wear on it
Well someone did drive it for a bit
3 years aint turn on 13b , what's the best refreshment before i turn on ? Anything good should i do , anybody
WUAO SUAO WUAO. I LOVER PUERTO RICO
Carpets pretty dirty for 800miles also why do the speedo digits not line up? Mine all did... never seen that before, no hate, serious question.
Man 17/23 mileage ratings are pretty bad for that car since it's not really all that powerful an engine.
What happens if you add pre mix when not needed
What happened to your tach?
Aren't low mile rotary cars the worst?
Don't you want to beat on Rx7. Didn't Mazda themselves say your suppose to beat on these cars?
I certainly beat on my RX 3.
$11,645.00 new.
Yaa, just take a Power Drill and Roll Back the Milage, it's EASY!! I can show you how!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What a LIE!!!!!!?
Zak, can i get your email, pls??
