Really rare! Let me break this down really quick... Ever heard of the rare 100 GTUs rx7s? Only 40 have ever been claimed and only 11 are confirmed at the time of this posting! Here are the rarest rx7 FC3S models: 1500 10AE Turbo models 1400 infini 1000 winning limited 150 final edition convertible 100 GTUs... out of that 100: 83 red on black 10 black on black 7 white on blue There was only 100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991. If you own one of these rare models sign your car up to the registry list here on any of the rotary forums! There are rumors about a restamped GTUs model... The entire origins GTUs owners thread on the rx7club was modified, icemarks claims deleted, registry list changed to have a confirmed section and the mods agree there are not enough GTUs models to have the restamped.

Some of the cars I've owned in my youth I can relate to the guys that had 60s era Cudas and Chargers. Had I known they'd explode in value... On the other hand, I'm happy I had my time with them. My '86 was my drift/rally car for years and years, I beat the snot out of it and it had over 300k when we parted ways, mostly because my knees were up against the dash and shifting was getting, err, complicated. Even with all that, it was stupid reliable with all 80-odd horsepower. If I still had it, I'd shoehorn a 3UR in a heartbeat.
