Description : Gateway Classic Cars is of Houston proud to present this breathtaking 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible. Mazda undertook the concept on the Wankel in 1961 for automotive applications from the practical all the way up to racing due to its extremely high revving capabilities associated with the design of the engine. The first RX7 was made in 1978 and a cult following of one of the greatest Japanese vehicles was born. Through the 1980's, the pinnacle of Mazda's design and engineering was the RX-7. A lightweight sports car that was known for its dynamic handling and high revving rotary engine. This 1988 Mazda Rx7 is also the first year a convertible was available to the US market. This convertible featured headrest mounted speakers and heated rear window glass and introduced the first integral wind blocker which folded up behind the seats to block unwanted drafts. Finished in black, this car is sleek and modern. The interior is upholstered in black leather and the nifty 80's controls are ergonomically placed in such a way that you feel like a real pro driver! Under the hood is a 13B 1.3L rotary engine which revs up like nothing else! Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, imagine how this lightweight car can get up and go! If you're looking for a sharp looking example of a Japanese classic, this is the one you want to own! Options include Air Conditioning (Not blowing cold), AM/FM radio, spare tire, power top, cruise control, power mirrors, seat belts, leather interior and alloy wheels wrapped in radial tires.
