Why Is This Mazda FD Rx7 at COPART Salvage Auction?!?!

Its not every day you get to see a Mazda FD Rx7. It is increasingly rare to see a Mazda FD Rx7 at salvage auction. Especially an FD Rx7 that doesn’t look like it belongs there.
This Mazda FD Rx7 looks to be in great shape. With a clean title and listed as running, what could be the reason it is at a Copart salvage auction? Let’s see what secrets this Mazda FD Rx7 might be hiding!

[@scraplifedalt]

Very interesting. Maybe it wasn’t so bad of a purchase after all! Thanks for checking in on it.

FD Rx7 Content is better than Porsche content. That is for sure!

My two dream cars, THE 911/964 and a single turbo ported Rx7

I'm not a dealer but I enjoy these videos, always learning, thanks Dalt!

FD’s get in your blood. I’ve owned 5 of them myself. Never had alot of luck with the turbo rotary but the LS swap always ran. Good content Austin!

[@toastmalone6695]

Clean CARFAX 3 owners 3 service records Last record 11/17/2017 stating the loan was released Then stating on 11/11/2022 that the vehicle was offered for sale at auction. Thats it really. Weird history for sure. Love the videos!

[@scraplifedalt]

That 2022 auction sale is interesting since I didn’t see that on the history. Unless I messed up the dates and that was those previous auction history.

[@toastmalone6695]

@@scraplifedaltyes sir. It think it showed that in the video that the previous auction you found was 11/2022

FYI The 1994 PEP did not have the rear wiper or the Bose. I know because I bought my new and still have it.

[@scraplifedalt]

[@gd1996]

If it's for sale at copart there is likely a reason.

[@scraplifedalt]

Wise words spoken here!

You said Van nuys completely wrong lol. I live near Van nuys and sun valley it’s hilarious how you said it

lol, I’m a Camaro nut. Specifically 3rd Generation (‘82-‘92, for those who don’t speak F-Body 😅) so the Plot of land where the Van Nuys Assembly plant was is holy ground for me, but I’ll be damned if I can pronounce it properly!

Sold upon approval means no sale

[@randysinger2673]

That is a bunch of Money to spend when you cannot Arbitrate It, A car that nice at a Salvage Auction is for sure a Red Flag

[@christophercrowley6707]

See nice cars on copart from time to time. I wonder if it is where charity car donations use.

[@justintime4466]

That’s usually listed as Donated Vehicle.

To much talking and not enough looking at cars, much prefer the other channel

Then stay there?

Thanks for having my back! 😁👍

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Must be young and hyper. We were all that way once…. I like the analysis. I think the guy or gal was in the process of moving and wanted it to be at a nearby auction. What’s that title mean though? Is that a disassembly title? Something seems “off” about it. Am I right, or did I misunderstand something?

[@scraplifedalt]

@@JasonMcCord-qk3yb the car is a mazda rx7 obviously. The “FD” refers to the chassis code. There are three main generations or body styles of rx7. The 1st generation was in the late 70s into the 80s. Those are called “FB.” The second generation is from the late 80s to 1991 called the “FC.” Then the last, most famous rx7 generation is the 3rd generation. Referee to as an “FD.”
