1986 Mazda RX7 GXL For Sale
This 1986 Mazda RX-7 GXL is a rare and well-preserved example of a beloved Japanese sports car, showing only 52,000 miles and finished in a distinctive gold exterior over a red interior. Powered by a 1.3L rotary engine (R2) paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this RX-7 delivers the kind of high-revving, smooth powerband that has made rotary engines legendary among enthusiasts. This car is being sold by the original owner and includes dealer-installed air conditioning and cruise control, making it even more comfortable for long drives or warm-weather cruising.
The FC-generation RX-7 is celebrated for its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, low center of gravity, and responsive rear-wheel-drive layout, all of which combine to offer exceptional handling and driving precision. Whether cruising or carving through corners, the RX-7 feels agile and composedbuilt for those who appreciate a driver-focused experience.
Its sleek 1980s design, complete with pop-up headlights, exudes retro charm and has drawn favorable comparisons to the Porsche 944. The GXL trim adds thoughtful upgrades, and the clean, bold color combination of gold and red gives this example a head-turning presence.
Rotary fans will appreciate the smooth and unique tone of the Wankel engine, while collectors will note how difficult it has become to find low-mileage, unmodified examples like this one. As these cars become increasingly rare, their value and desirability continue to grow.
For enthusiasts seeking a distinctive driving experience, timeless style, and rotary-powered charm, this 1986 Mazda RX-7 GXL is a standout example of one of the most iconic sports cars of its era.
