The Mazda RX-7 FB was built from 1978 to 1985.
The RX-7, the most traded version: The first-generation RX-7 proved that rotary power could create a pure sports car experience. Mazda's 12A Wankel engine delivered 100hp in a perfectly balanced 2,300-pound package, creating one of the most rewarding driver's cars of the late '70s. The FB chassis featured near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and sublime handling that embarrassed more expensive European rivals. Pop-up headlights and clean Giugiaro-influenced lines gave it timeless appeal. With over 474,000 produced across eight years, early RX-7s remain accessible, but pristine examples are increasingly sought after. The rotary's unique character—smooth power delivery, distinctive exhaust note, and rev-happy nature—creates an experience no piston engine can match. Collectors appreciate the FB's purity compared to later, heavier generations. Watch for rust in rear quarters and ensure the rotary has been properly maintained, as rebuilds are inevitable but worthwhile for this rotary icon.
