Overview of 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL For Sale by Owner

The Mazda RX-7 holds the distinction of being the most mass-produced rotary-engined passenger car in history! Yes, there have been other mass-produced rotaries, such as the NSU RO80 and Mazda’s own RX-8, but none ever managed to match the sheer numbers of RX-7 production. How much is that exactly? Over 811,000 examples over three generations! Today’s 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL is a nice second-generation example from Lake Barrington, Illinois and could be yours! It’s done just 63,000 miles and comes with a naturally aspirated example of that famous 13B twin-rotor powerplant.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior wears a classic blue finish paired with the original 14-inch alloy wheels, pop-up headlights, and subtle GXL badging that define the FC’s understated yet athletic design. The body lines and trim pieces reflect the clean, simple aesthetic of the era, while the factory rear spoiler adds a touch of sportiness. Inside, the car features its rare blue interior theme, including blue carpeting, seats, and dashboard panels. The GXL cabin includes automatic climate control, the original Mazda AM/FM stereo with auto-reverse cassette, and the 2+2 layout confirmed by rear seatbelts and cargo-area venting. Factory rear speakers and well-preserved controls contribute to a cockpit that remains true to its 1987 form.

Engine

Power comes from Mazda’s 13B 1.3-liter rotary engine, naturally aspirated and fed by electronic fuel injection. The engine bay shows original components, including the RESI intake manifold, stock airbox, and factory wiring layout. A 5-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels, delivering the smooth, high-revving driving character rotary engines are known for. The GXL trim adds four-wheel disc brakes and an independent suspension setup that provides responsive handling and excellent balance. Overall, this RX-7 maintains the essential mechanical personality of the FC platform—lightweight, engaging, and rewarding to drive—while retaining important factory details that enthusiasts value.
