Overview of 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible For Sale by Owner

The definitive rotary-engined sports car, the Mazda RX-7 was produced between 1978 and 2002, with over 811,000 units made, across three generations. While the RX-8 was envisioned as its successor, it simply couldn’t accrue the same massive appeal and ardent petrolhead following that the RX-7 had carefully cultivated. For rotary engine fans, the RX-7 remains the definitive choice, and that’s why we’re glad to present this Florida-based 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible for sale. This third-generation drop-top has done over 88,800 miles and comes with some aftermarket parts too. Two keys, the owner’s manual and service records are available as well.

Exterior and Interior

This third-generation 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible is a beauty to behold, with its quintessential Eighties wedge-shaped styling and of course, pop-up headlamps! Fun Fact: all three generations did have pop-up headlamps. This car’s black convertible top is power operated for ease of use, and it’s got a lovely set of multi-spoke alloy wheels to ride on. You’ll also no doubt notice the car’s twin exhaust pipes and dainty rear spoiler. The interior of this 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible is a two-seat affair featuring blue leather upholstered seats for two adults. You’ve got fully functional air conditioning, which is a great thing in an ever-warming world. The car also comes with power windows, power mirrors and of course, that powered convertible top. Its sound system is another object of Eighties beauty, a lovely three-in-one head unit that combines AM/FM radio functions with a CD player, plus a cassette tape player. Made by Pioneer, the unit even includes headrest-mounted speakers with their own controls in the lower center console! And if that isn’t enough, gazing at the car’s pure analog gauge cluster with its centrally-located, 8,000rpm-redlined tachometer is definitely exhilarating.

Engine

This 1989 Mazda RX-7 Convertible comes with a 13B 1.3-liter two-rotor engine. The engine makes 160hp but does so in such a smooth and refined manner that it’s all too easy to bang right up against its rev limiter. A 5-speed manual transmission channels power to the rear wheels. We’re told that this car has also got new aftermarket suspension. However, the stock parts such as struts and coilovers are available too.
