1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

ONE OWNER. Purchased in DEC 1985. The special edition of the last year of this body style. Considered Classic by RX-7 Enthusiasts.

A BEAUTIFUL AND HARD TO FIND RX-7 GSL-SE survivor. This clean specimen is truly a must-see in incredible condition with only minor no alterations, accidents, dents, body damage or rust! Another nice feature is that it has the same fuel-injected 13B Rotary engine (1.3L displacement) that continued into the RX-8, so you can still get most OEM engine parts!! An original-equipment Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE is a very rare find today for a car that in its prime was famous for dominating the IMSA GTU races in the early 1980s.

It has been well looked-after for during its life. This rare beauty of an RX-7 comes with both the Factory RX-7 manuals and both the removable glass sunroof and matching black metal one with leather travel sleeve.

1985 was the last year for the original, classic RX-7 body style and the upgraded GSL-SE option was only built in 1984-85. The GSL-SE option had some upgrades and options only available with this car that included the standard fuel injected 13B rotary engine (same engine size for all RX-7s after 1985 and also the RX-8), a revised front air dam, unique, larger alloy wheels and 14″ tires, larger 4-wheel disc brakes, limited-slip differential, and upgraded suspension.

This high rpm (7,000 red-line) model will put a smile on your face whether you’re driving the freeway or carving up twisty roads. In 1985, the RX-7 GSL-SE was one of the fastest cars you could buy for a reasonable price. This car is guaranteed to get you plenty of looks and thumbs up.

If you want a classic car that is fun to drive, holds the corner at high speeds, and gives you the feeling that you can do whatever you want, this car is for you.

BODY -The body is 100% straight, never been in an accident. The hood has a small ding.

All glass except the windscreen is original and tinted, and in excellent shape including the detachable smoked glass moon roof. The headlights pop right up and go down quickly and at the same time. It’s hard to describe how clean this car is for a classic, but it is not perfect and has a few very minor imperfections. The car was painted about 10 years ago by Grove Auto Body. So only one paint job. I’ve kept it fully detailed ever since.

Black on Black – This RX-7 is an incredible find and in amazing over-all condition, so these minor imperfections don’t for a second take away from its beauty and it gets constant compliments with its factory correct original crisp look and no-nonsense appearance. It’s a looker on the road.

Interior -100% Smoke Free cabin.
Waiting inside this little rockets cockpit is a blast of a ride with the 100% original bucket seats that keep you comfortably in place. They‘ always been protected by seat covers. A few years back I added Wetakole () neoprene seat coverts to finish the stealthy look as well. The original 5-speed manual shifter was replaced with a carbon fiber shifter.

REPLACED/UPGRADED TO NEW:
A. The center console
B. The Shift Boot Assembly
C. Stereo: removed original that had an EQ that died. Replaced with a 6-disc changer but I won’t mess with that, since it’s a personal choice for the new owner for sure! There’s room to do a back up camera/monitor set up with Blue-Tooth for your iPhone Playlists if you get the correct chassis!
D. Painted the dash plastic professionally so it’s all black in the cabin, not the dirty gray, it enhances and compliments the interior.
E. Momo Brand black leather steering wheel (smaller steering wheel – which makes much more sense for the car.
F. Momo Pedals – a distressed nickel metal look – very sexy industrial look.
G. Replaced the Front Windshield with a tint at top of the glass.
H. Most rubber/trim on whole care has been replaced except for around the tail light assembly.
I. Replaced the tinted louvered plastic section between the tail lights.
J. The entire carpet kit is brand new and dark-charcoal black.
K. The stock radiator has been replaced by a more performance model. Coolant hoses, spark plug wires, etc of course have been replaced.

Inside overall it is all factory Mazda original in feel but some subtle elegant changes are noticeable to the purist. Nothing takes away from the overall aesthetics or elegance in the cabin.

Original protective Mazda RX-7 floor mats but they do show some age.

MECHANICAL – Absolutely 100% Stock, no upgrades to this motor… ever! This RX-7 has a very clean and uncrowded engine compartment with all of the original emissions control equipment in place and it passes California clean air emissions standards. The legendary and dependable fuel injected rotary pulls strong with the unmistakable killer sound that only an RX-7 rotary can deliver.

The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle. With a classic car like this one, it is very difficult to describe it to everyone’s satisfaction. Message for questions.
