For Sale: 1989 Mazda RX-7 in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to offer this up and coming collector 1989 Mazda RX-7 convertible for sale on consignment right now in our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. Japanese automaker Mazda started installing convertible roofs on their second-generation RX-7's in 1988, Critically, they were developed in-house unlike much of the competition that outsourced the work. Mazda managed to incorporate both a "Targa Top" style roof and a traditional convertible into their design by manufacturing a removable rigid panel over the passenger cabin that transitions into a fabric soft top that can be raised and lowered electronically. Painted in "Brilliant Black", this Japanese sports car is stealthy and eagle-eyed enthusiasts will note that it is also a "Series 5" model meaning it was part of the RX-7 facelift that featured body colored moldings. Mazdas from this era are famous for the "Rotary" engines and this car has the naturally aspirated 13B 2-rotor Wankel with a displacement of 1.3l and a factory power output of 160hp. A 4-speed automatic transmission accompanies this example, which was an option for RX-7 convertibles. Both engine and transmission on this vehicle have been rebuilt recently and everything is operating very well. Almost any Japanese car from this era gets interesting once you get inside. The orange on black gauges, rotary headlight switches, busy audio controls and sporty Black leather bucket seats give this Mazda some serious character and it's safe to say that the ergonomics are streets ahead of most American cars from 1989. This Mazda-RX-7 has been owned by the same individual for the last quarter century, is in great condition and is ready to be enjoyed by another enthusiast for a long time to come.
