About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

From the 'Uncle TJ's collection.' Paint shows significant swirl marks, fading, moderate chips and bubbling. Cracks in the indicator lights. Rubber trim is dry and falling apart. Engine compartment is dirty and shows corrosion on all aluminum parts and even rust showing on all non-painted metal parts. Cracked rubber hoses and frayed wires. Underside has light but even surface rust all over. Dirty, cracked and faded upholstery with missing buttons and dangling wires. Represented with 77,450 actual miles, but it's a very tired car.

Market commentary

First generation RX-7s are great budget classics that are both fun and dependable, and the usual rotary engine bugs like apex seal failure and burning oil shouldn't discourage anybody from considering one. They have been so cheap for so long, though, that worn out examples like this are unfortunately the norm. The result here is about what this one is worth.
