Equipment
Air conditioning, sunroof, Bridgestone Potenza tires, Bose sound system. Only two owners from new.
Condition
Originally a US market car, then made its way to Switzerland in 2017. Completely stock, even down to the complex sequential twin-turbo system. Excellent paint with no stone chips or scratches to be found anywhere. The wheel wells are immaculate. The underbody is clean and shows minimal aging from sitting. The interior appears almost new, only the driver's seat upholstery has minor creases. Immaculate inside and out, represented with just 13,600 miles, and one of the best FD RX-7s you'll find anywhere in the world.
Market commentary
The first car out of the Youngtimer collection, the massive group of modern classics that RM is splitting up for four auctions this year on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a record price for this model, but the car deserved it. For somebody who wants a bone-stock, nearly like-new example of a car that so often got the Fast & Furious treatment, this was an almost singular opportunity. Mecum sold another all-stock and red car in Kissimmee back in January for $34,100. The two are nearly identical in terms of look and condition, but the Kissimmee car had over twice the miles and it didn't have the immense buzz around it that the Amelia car did thanks to the other Youngtimer cars. Well-marketed and -received, this is a deserved record price.
