Totally NAC Mazda offering

[David]

Yes, the convertable would have been a 1990-1992 (FC Series), very rare, only a few hundres drop tops were sold each year. The twin turbo could have been anywhere from 1993-1995 (FD Series). Yes, they have maintained value very well. The FDs sold for $27,000-$45,000 depending on year and options. They now sell for betyween $15-25k for a nice exmple, beat up ones for less.

David,

I was just searching for an early 90s RX-7 in The Seattle Times, and those
things are EXPENSIVE, aren't they?????

A twin-turbo and a convertible, each for $16k - $17K........
