When Mazda introduced the first ever Mazda RX-7, a 2-door coupe utilizing a rotary engine. This same car would become the ancestor of the much-revered 1990s-produced Mazda RX-7 FD3S. The first generation of RX-7s was produced from 1978 to 1985 and featured three somewhat distinct models, or Series as Mazda called it. Series 1 was produced from 1978 to 198, Series 2 from 1981 to 1983, and Series 3 from 1984 to 1985. Up for grabs is a 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS Series 3 with just 120,500 genuine miles on the odometer and looking in topping condition.
For a car almost closing in on 40 years, this particular 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS Series 3 looks very carefully used by an enthusiast. Thanks to the custom silver metallic paint job this car has undergone, it is depicted magnificently. It also features a duo of very thin red pinstripes running the length of the vehicle. Typical of the RX-7 line, this first generation RX-7 made the precedent in using a distinct tapered front design with pop-up headlights. The front bumper is a thin strip of black rubberized plastic with integrated turn lights, while below can be seen the air dam, which feeds cold air to the radiator. As far as emblems and identification go, this RX-7 features a small black "MAZDA" badge on the front bottom corner, a "Mazda RX-7" badge on the side quarter panels, and the "GS" and "MAZDA" badges for the rear. Part of the GS trim is power mirrors, a power fuel door, a powered antenna, and a removable sunroof. It sits on a set of OEM 13-inch Mazda wheels. The interior is reported to be all original and finished in leather-trimmed cloth seats in red. The 3-spoke steering wheel is also finished in a matching red.
The 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS Series 3 has a 1.2L rotary engine coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. Power output was at 100hp with a top speed of 120 mph. Due to the engine's smoothness and an effortless top speed of 120 mph, Mazda installed a buzzer on the tachometer to let drivers know when the 7,000 rpm redline is reached. The seller reports that a new battery has been installed, and a recent oil change was done.
When Mazda released the RX-7 to the world in 1978, it was one of a mere handful of cars that would use the Wankel rotary engine. Renowned for its unmatched smoothness and high-rev abilities, the rotary engine didn't find favor in many cars due to its maintenance requirements and comparatively higher emissions. Those who have driven a rotary-engined car will tell you that the experience is like no other since rotary motion is generated from the start of the combustion process. Why not check out the rotary engine experience with this 1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II that's currently up for sale? The car has just 46,580 miles and has received some new maintenance items to ease your worries.

The Mazda RX-7 stands out as the poster child for Felix Wankel’s unconventional rotary engine. With no pistons, and rotary motion directly being generated by internal combustion, the Wankel offered unmatched smoothness, and surprisingly potent power generation for low displacements. However, this ground-breaking engine was known to be low on torque, and struggled to meet emissions regulations, hence why we don’t see Wankel-engined vehicles anymore. Mazda championed the Wankel for the longest period, with many RX sports cars, the most renowned being the RX-7 and RX-8. This 1984 Mazda RX-7 is thus a fine piece of automotive history, and bears a healthy 135,000 miles on the clock. Check it out!
With Japanese car imports at an all-time high in the Eighties, it was just a matter of time when cars like the Mazda RX-7 made headlines. Following the success of the FB series the FC series RX-7 was designed to suit the American automotive market at the time. With iconic cars such as the Porsche 928 being the standard, the FC Mazda RX-7 set the tone for what was to come. Finding a mint example is becoming increasingly tough due to these cars being a familiar face at drift circuits and impromptu track days but this 1991 Mazda RX-7 FC we have today is a diamond in the rough. Located in Florida and with 100,000 miles reported since new this Japanese classic is one to admire and a comfortable cruiser if need be.
