1978 MAZDA RX7 for sale
Price: POA
AUCTION: 6th - 15th MAY
Chicane Auctions is proud to offer this stunning Series 1 Mazda RX7.
This unique example has had a full restoration with professional performance modifications and is presented in show-quality condition.
DRIVELINE
Powering this stunning RX-7 is a 12A Extended Port Turbo rotary engine, professionally built by Buzzme Rotarmotive and tuned by the rotary experts at Maztech Motorsports.
The engine is controlled by a Microtech LT10S ECU and Turbosmart e-Boost 2 controller, working in harmony with a Hybrid Turbocharger, Aeroflow piping, a PWR front-mounted intercooler, RX4 radiator and oil cooler - delivering strong turbocharged performance.
The driveline features a rebuilt Series 5 Turbo gearbox and a Series 3 Limited Slip Differential, offering precise, high-output capability.
Stopping power and handling are equally well considered, with Series 3 disc brakes at all four corners, Series 3 adjustable struts at the front, adjustable coilover rear suspension and upgraded sway bars front and rear for sharper handling and improved cornering performance.
It rides on a set of classic Simmons FR-1 wheels that further underline its motorsport intent.
EXTERIOR
Visually, this RX-7 is an absolute showstopper. Finished in stunning Blue metallic paintwork, the body is enhanced with a high-quality, period-style Group C bodykit that amplifies its aggressive stance and vintage racing pedigree.
The quality of the paintwork and panel fit is exceptional, and underneath, the fully detailed undercarriage reveals colour-coded sway bars and suspension hardware.
Every componentfrom the chassis updemonstrates the meticulous standard of the build.
INTERIOR
The interior is just as striking as the exterior. It features a full custom red leather retrim, setting a bold tone against the Blue exterior.
A suite of premium AutoMeter gauges is housed in a bespoke pod, offering both function and flair.
Carbon-dipped plastics extend across the dashboard and into the rear boot section, tying together the performance and luxury elements with a cohesive, high-end finish.
Every touchpoint has been carefully considered to deliver a driver-focused cockpit with show-winning presentation.
SUMMARY
