Here is a RARE 1993 MAZDA RX7-R1 Twin Turbo with 5 speed Manual Trans, in
Black w/ Black interior with owner history up until approximately a year ago
when we sold it to the 2nd owner.
This RX7 has 16k original miles and has never been modified. Very
rare to find this color combination, in an R1 with this low of mileage.
This RX7 was 100% factory stock until just recently. Within the last 500 Miles this RX7 has had the following upgrades installed: HKS Coilovers, Greddy Exhaust, Corksport highflow Catalytic Converter, and 18" Enkei Racing RP03 Wheels w/ brand new Bridgestone Potenza tires. Wheels are 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 back with 235x40x18 tires in front and 265x35x18 rears.
A word on the asking price. We were overwhelmed with calls on the base model '93 black/tan RX7 we just recently sold. It was priced at $27k and we could have sold it 5X over as we still receive calls on it. This RX7 is not only an R1 in Black/Black but it has over $5k of recently installed modifications that make it quite a good value at the current asking price of $29,750. This price is firm so if please don't bother inquiring if you aren't prepared to pay the asking price.
It wasn't until editing the photos that a slight dip in the center of the front bumper appears. It is definitely more pronounced in the photos than in real life, as we never even noticed when viewing the vehicle. I suspect this is due to the bumper being PVC and over the years has slightly flexed. When we received the car the front plate was installed and there were no signs of damage to the plate, brackets, or anywhere inside the engine bay indicating the dip in the front bumper is from any type of impact. All paint is original, with the exception of having the rear wing removed and repainted due to two large chips in it.
The RX7 R-1 was designed for those searching for the ultimate performance from their RX-7. The R1 package adds body spoilers and dual oil coolers, but also eliminates the leather seats and sunroof for weight savings. Weighing 190 pounds less than its predecessor at slighting above 2,800 lbs and offering 50/50 weight distribution, the powerful and redesigned third generation RX-7 is a performance machine.
The good news about this RX7 is it sat in the garage of an older gentleman for 15 years seldom being driven before we obtained it and sold it to the 2nd owner who is now wanting to upgrade to an MKIV supra TT. The bad news is upon receipt the exterior was quite oxidized and rough. The RX7 paint actually had a factory recall on it due to not holding up well. In lieu of a repaint we spent $1,500 with one of the best detailers in town who wet sanded the entire car. When we picked it up we were shocked how good it looked. Overall the interior is near perfect and we'd rate the exterior a 7 or 8 out of 10. There are still a few scratches here and there and under the shine on the hood and some places there is some "acid rain" type looking marks in the paint, but as you can see by the photos, the car looks amazing and you have to have your eye out to find the flaws.
When we purchased this RX7, we had a dealership inspection with compression test was completed. The results can be seen below:
This vehicle comes with all the original manuals, keys, and even the original window sticker, as viewed below:
Debuted in 1993, Motor Trend named the RX7 the "1993 Import Car of the Year" and had this to say about the car: "The RX-7's performance is awe-inspiring: It's within one foot of being the shortest-stopping street car we've ever tested; out-accelerates anything that doesn't have a third more horsepower (and many that do); reaches 160 mpg in less than three miles; and grips the road harder than the best race cars of only a few years ago. Yet considering this phenomenal performance, most said it was easy to control on the track, and fun to drivve on the street..."
The third generation Mazda RX-7 was available only as a
two-door hatchback. Under the hood is a twin-sequential turbocharged 13B-REW
rotary engine producing an astonishing 255 horsepower. A five speed manual
transmission and all four corners have Anti-Lock disc brakes. Safety was
improved with the introduction of a drivers-side airbag.
