You Need This: Early Mazda RX-7 time capsule

It does look pretty clean, and the asking price is pretty close to what Hagerty values an '81 RX-7 in No. 3 condition:

• No. 1 Concours condition: $44,500
• No. 2 Excellent condition: $27,300
• No. 3 Good condition: $10,900
• No. 4 Fair condition: $3,700

It's missing the air cleaner snorkel.

Seats appear OE to me.  A/C looks like factory air, too, as opposed to port installed air. The only other non power steering FB that I've seen with factory air was also an '81.

I couldn’t recall if those were the OE seats but, yeah, looks rather original.

It's so rare to find a near-perfect, stock, unmolested car like this RX7.  It takes my breath away by looking at such a beautiful, clean canvas to completely destroy with performance modifications. 

That looks way nicer than mine.  

In reply to DavyZ :

So, early taillights or the later ones? To be honest, I can’t decide. 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Judging only the taillights, I like the early ones. I like the progression of red-orange-clear, even though it doesn't make sense to have the turn signals further inboard.

But the rear as a whole on the early car looks a little out of the place with the rest of the car, and I prefer the plate under the bumper.

In reply to j_tso :

But the SA has a much better looking front end, with the little chin lip.  

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

Yeah, even though it's mostly a "modern" 80s car the metal bumpers keep one foot in the old skool 70s.

The green car is an SA and is thoroughly a 70s car.  It was only made in 79 and 80.

The red car is an FB and ran through 1985.

The FB and SA share a lot of parts, but you'd be amazed how many differences there are.  It's a bit more different than just a facelift.
