After 10 years you would probably run into the statute of limitations if you tried to sue. The badge seems to be the MAZDA Genuine Mascot RX-7 FD3 SCutout Efini Badge Emblem. To me that car is worth $8.43 if they would pay shipping.
I'll take cars from the 90s and below any day compared to the cars from now, they're boring and have no character, they all look the same and do everything for you
Incredible barn car specially if has the 3 rotor race prep but also all stock stuff is a neat approach for next owner can decide if want to race or want to travel stock..
Awesome car ! We watch from Europe guys love your content, be safe out there and keep doing great work !
I'm guessing the owner was/is doing time. Assuming the facility was insured, the indoor car garage business, failed to provide the car, the protection from the elements, the rx7 owner bargained for. In other words, he could have parker it at a friend's driveway for much less.
To return the car back to the shape it was left, (10 years ago) the owner paid $,$$$
The end
Your welcome .
I would freak out like never seen before!!!!
I believe the badge is for Efini, the sub brand Mazda brought in during the 90s for it's premium products at that time
Ooo okay
yup thats right....they have a wiki
You are correct.
Cheers for that.
Yep, jap imports usually have this logo
You just can't beat FD videos. Even at 30 years old it's still one of the coolest sports cars there is. Nice job on the detailing as usual, the paint correction especially looks amazing.
Thanks for the work and plug! Can't wait to work with you guys more.
The styling of the FD was so ahead of its time. This car could come out in 2024 and STILL be a show-stopper.
Mazda (Efini) started making the FD body style mid way through 1991 in Japan so you can actually find 1991 FD’s. The serial numbers are sequential based on production so the SN number on the car is how many there were at the time yours was built.
Does this mean there was only 92 when his was built ???
Nice work, gents! I guessed WAYYYY low on the 8800 mile version as for the value. I will guess the value, all original and brought back in the 30 to 40K area. Hope I am closer this time! Enjoy your work very much...makes me wish I was younger and could still take a different path in my work life! Keep up the great work and be Blessed!
Dude, I wish these wer that cheap. A clean original low mileage FD is a stupidly expensive thing right now - I'd double what you're thinking. I want one of these but I'm not willing to pay what they're going for to get one. :(
Is this the first time we’ve seen you throw the car on a lift and clean the underside like this? I’ve only ever seen Larry from AMMO do this. I love to see it in videos
We’ve done it a couple times! Glad you liked it!
Love watching Larry!
Beautiful work as always guys!! Y’all are so talented!! 😊
looks brand new again. RJ and Brent, you rock!
Wunderschönes Endergebnis.Tolle Arbeit.👍👍👍❤️❤️😃😃😃😊
I'm always so amazed at seeing all of these cars being in great shape after the detailing, I'm from Eastern Europe, we also have amazing old school cars, but because of heavy Winters, and a lot of salt of the roads, our cars would never survive 10-20 years without maintenance, it literally takes 1 winter to generate hella rust that could destroy a car massively. I envy decent weather and no salt on the roads. We have so much legendary European cars, that still drive on the road, but they are in such bad shape just because of salt & rust, and take a lot of resources to restore.
From Nigeria, i just want to say you guys absolutely ROCK !! Wonderful contents
This is amazing story! You did a great work once again 😃👌👍
The badge is the Efini symbol ,it's like an AMG version of Mazda, great job
Nice job! It’s so satisfying to watch as the car comes back to life! As far as the damage that happened while it was in storage there is probably nothing you can do… Most storage facilities make you sign documents that release them from pretty much all liability.
Incredible detailing job, guys! Looks so good
Beautiful job guys! The lines on that sports car are amazing.
Great job, love the undercarriage detail. Please continue to do that with future details, look into dry ice or steam for the undercarriage 👍
マジか！これは凄い！本当に凄い！！ほぼ新車じゃん！感動した🎉
I love watching your videos of how you restore an old car, and yes you can restore it beautifuly, and I dream of having my own car. A fan from philippines
Nice job on a beautiful black car. This car had a rotary engine (also known as a Wankel, named after the inventor), but they later had to switch to a conventional engine due to pollution and oil burning problems. I hope they bring this one back to original condition, and you certainly helped toward that goal with your detailing.
I know you guys just do amazing detail work!!! I wish you were able to show if they would still run or not after sitting for so long. Maybe you can partner up with another shop to do the mechanical stuff and see what happens, maybe 🤔. Car is going to be great when finished, only second to the. Eighty eight hundred one you did 😁👍
Great job guys. Looks great. You keep finding better and better cars.
The condition of the interior panels can't be overstated. FDs usually have badly degraded interior panels and these look practically new after your amazing detail work. Plus being an early production run that'll have full OEM spec and super low miles, I'd say it could fetch $65-75k
it is worth what ever a collector will pay for
I own a mazda cx5,,to own a rx7 is a dream for me,,i wish i could buy one here in my country,,here they are very very rare,,as for this you just detailed for a 30 years old this is a beautiful time capsule,,a dream for lot of people,,nice job you done perfect,,👍
This car is SUCH A VIBE
WOW Guys ! A lift !!! GOING FORWARD NICE ! 👍👍
one of the most beautiful cars i've seen
Glad I stayed tuned! This is going to be awesome
Incredible work, Boys!!!
Man that’s my dream car I had 5 1985 rx7 when I was young I miss them cars
Great job guys!!! I would like you to make a complement about the after this wonderful sport, a compact video of it working again, I think the friends of the channel would like it... Hugs from Brazil!!
Love it, just wish we saw more of the paint correction as that's the most satisfying part to watch. Also, why do you never show paint being sealed or coated? That's also one of the most satisfying things to watch but I feel like it never get's shown or mentioned. Pretty sure I've asked this a few times but don't think it's ever answered.
Can't wait to watch a FB rx7 cleaning
Just to find a car like that is pure Heaven.
We agree!
looks amazing i like the factory seats
Mazda RX7 is my favourite sport car.
Beautiful sports car
Incredible job guys 👏. That paint looks so good. Im in Canada🇨🇦 so I'm guessing in our money the car would be worth around 25grand. Not sure about US money. As long as it runs fine it would be worth a fair amount.
This made me a subscriber for sure! Freaking bad ass Job y'all! WOW!
Thanks man!
What tool would you or any of your viewers recommend to vibrate the carpet to try to pull the sand to the top so it could be vacuumed. I have seen people use something but can’t remember what it was.
Does anyone know I have sand dead in the carpet and carpet isn’t coming out of car. So instead of beating the stew out of the carpet to get the sand to the top so it can be vacuumed please anyone know of ANYTHING??!!
Use a toothbrush
Ive never been a japanese car guy but these rx7s are beautiful cars
You guys did a really good job
another amazing project and as always,- impeccable work.
I love the barn find type stuff! :)
A real beauty!
This came out better than the red one you guys did.
I just had the frame in my truck repaired last week. Chipmunks are nice had been building a nest inside the frame rails and cause it to rust to the point that it failed a state inspection.
Damn Robbie Layton sent me!
I’m never gonna be able to leave the house!
I used to detail cars at a dealership in a previous life. We took in a very old Hyundai hatchback that we were going to wholesale because it had a billion miles on it. It was full of animal fur, food, and poop. Of course I was tasked with cleaning it for auction. The worst smell I've ever encountered was coming from the inside of this car. So I started cleaning it and noticed the manual adjustable seats wouldn't move. Like they were jammed. So I reached my hand under them and started pulling out pieces of dead deteriorating rabbits. Multiple rabbits. The woman who had traded the car in worked nights at the post office. She kept these rabbits in the car at all times. On her lunch break she would eat lunch in her car with the rabbits. She did this for years. Then she was moved to day shift. The first really hot day that the car sat outside at work, the rabbits didn't make it. She was distraught. She "buried" the rabbits in their "home" and immediately traded the car in because she couldn't bear the sight of the car any longer. Anywho, it's a sad story of mental illness, loss, and one completely disgusting detail that I'll never forget.
Ay believe that one of the first on prodiction. If i right the value of that is amazing 😎🙌
Currently looking for a JDM version of an FD RX-7. Seeing this is motivating me to search harder
Check out rising sun autos, they ship all over , direct from Japan .
Great Job!! But please, next time change the brake (or use it to let the disk be clean) before Mount a well cleaned wheel. First stop the rust cover all the wheel.
Magnifique restauration de cette RX7
The badge is the luxury brand of Mazda I believe it’s called efini
Nice Mazda!
In general,like the Japanese auto
industry!
You returned it to the owner,yes!
What a crazy find
In regard to the seats, I think the Leather/Vinyl racing seats look better, but I'm sure the OEM seats are more comfortable and more conducive to daily driving.
Impressive, I love it!
I remember James Garner doing commercials for the Mazda RX-7 back in the 70s
Beautiful looking cars. This managed to survive relatively unscathed by the fast and furious trend. Great job guys, why don't you try a bit of PDR yourselves? I'm sure your skills will be up to it very quickly.
Я в своих машинах находил пчелиный улей под крылом)
В другой машине зимой нашел живого маленького котенка,с ним всё хорошо,нашли ему новый дом и хозяев)))
Amazing
So incredible job always.
Now for the logo on the car, it's actually the Japanese mazda logo for their Efini brand that was discontinued back in 1997 I think. As for the manual, it may have been missing the original 1992 manual so the owners probably found a 1993 manual and stuck it in the car.
Great job guys! 2023 value. If clean title, All original & Low miles. Prob $50k+
I seen one of these today on the motorway in Dublin Ireland, black also.
Mazda for life!
Hope this one finds a good forever home!🙏
I had worked a number of wreckers yards in my youth, while doing my mechanics apprenticeship. One day I had to pull the motor from a car that had been T-boned HARD, I mean the driver
seat was pushed against the passenger seat. Once I pulled the engine and trans the boss told me to gas axe the good bits off and then throw it in the pile (scrap car pile) so in order to cut the rear 1/4 panel off I had to cut the B pillar and remove both doors. Once the driver door was off I noticed the top of a red shoe, so I grabbed the porta-power and stretched the metal until I could access it. It was a red high heal with the foot still in it, it had been amputated, you could clearly see saw marks in the bone, we called the cops and they took it. Another time at another motor wrecker, I was told to go down the back and remove all the ID plates and decals from an XB Falcon GT 4 door that had been hit by a train, 5 people died, anyway I was cutting the driver door free to get at the decal under the striker plate, I had to separate the door skin, as soon as the skin was removed, I found 3 mummified fingers inside.
I like the second seats they are original to the car and look more comfortable then the first seats
Top, i like this video.
Stick with the OEM R1 black suede seats. As things relate to the production date, Mazda started cranking out US production models in December of 1991, so there are a few early examples in the US with 12/91 date stamps in their doors. 1/92 is STILL a very early production example. In completely stock condition, a year ago this car would have brought $70k. However, with the softening market, the current value is $55-65k, IMO. 🤓👍🏼
I think the FD is the only car I don't mind headlight conversions on.
My dream car 😍 One day Imma get one so I can do it like a proyect car with my son
This car is so 😎
I just subscribed! Entertaining channel; keep up the hard work!
The badge you're referring to is associated with Efini. Efini was a luxury arm of Mazda from 1991-1997
Do I prefer the alcantara/suede seats that were designed specifically for the FD RX7 or the generic racing seats covered in loose pleather? Hmmm...I'm going to go with the incredibly high quality and unique OEM set, personally :P
OEM all the way!
Top job as usual
Got to have oem seats back in 👍👍
30 to 40k ish
Hey guys…great video. What brand of flooring is in your garage? Thanks.
Who stores a car and never goes and looks at it for years? Especially one like that! crazy
Good.job ❤😄😄👏👏👍👍cool
Hey! I’ve seen this car in person!
Would have been nice to get the paint gauge and tested to see how much clear coat before you paint corrected the rx7.
Amazing job guys where about are you guys locate it at
Hello! Can you tell me what brand of pressure washer do you use? And how much bar/psi do you work with? I really want to try them!
Nice vehicle lift and spinning wheel holder to wash to wheels.
It's an Efini badge. Think of it as Toyota/Lexus or Honda/Acura relationship. A bit higher quality materials, a bit more performance IIRC.
Alvin HAHA got that reference
I'm so tired of youtube scammers trying to pretend they are the owner of TH-cam channels by commenting. Each time this happen I make sure to signal them to TH-cam with the signal comment option but we need to be in this together guys! Each time you can signal a TH-cam scammers comment, you have to do the signal comment option.
fantastic job you guys are great she looks awesome great job , she is a black beauty , wow
That Chipmunk was Shaped Like a Gun 😂
1991 was the first year for the F RX7 limited, some of these cars went to AEROdyne to make track cars and add body kits. It should be a synchronized twin turbo worth around 45,000 on today's market. Very desirable RX7
That badge is a Mazda brand representing the rotory motor
Would Love To Own Car FD RX-7
That thing has been through the wringer. The BB R2 you had a bit ago was WAY nicer. This is a BB R1, which I also have. The 92 date doesn’t really mean much, mine is also a 92.
