Mazda RX-7 Series 1-5

Mazda RX-7s during the first decade of the model’s existence changed dramatically in shape and today appeal to quite different buyer groups. Series 1-3 cars take a lot of current owners back to the days of wanting a rotary but being unable to afford the car (new they cost more than a V8 Commodore SL/E) or to insure it. Now they can but prices are climbing.

Move to 1986 and the entire concept changed; RX7s now pitched against Porsche’s 944 but a lot less expensive than one of those. Today, non-turbo S4-5 coupes are the cheapest RX-7s of all, closely followed by S4-5 convertibles which may have come here as new cars or recent imports.
