Introducing the 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1: A Classic Sports Car Treasure
This stunning black example of the 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1 was showcased on eBay in August 2021, with a mere 36,380 miles on the odometer. It features the distinctive R1 trim, which includes unique factory-installed enhancements such as aerodynamic front and rear spoilers, a robust front strut tower brace, plush suede sport seats, dual oil coolers, and more. According to the seller, this particular vehicle is one of only 138 R1 models produced in the striking shade of Brilliant Black over a matching black interior during the 1993 production year.
The vehicle maintains its original engine, untouched and in factory configuration. However, it has undergone several tasteful modifications to enhance its appeal and performance. The original 16-inch alloy wheels have been replaced with 17-inch aftermarket wheels from Motegi, which offer a more angular design and a darker finish, giving the car a more aggressive stance. Inside the cabin, the rare suede seats from the factory remain in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear. The overall interior is well-preserved, with only minor issues such as a non-functioning stereo system, a missing passenger side door handle pull, and an air conditioning system that requires servicing.
Recent maintenance on this pristine RX-7 includes:
- Complete oil change
- Installation of new NGK spark plugs
- Replacement of belts, air filter, battery, fuel pump, and fuel filter
- Rebuilt factory shifter for smoother operation
