Mazda RX-7 Starting in the 1970s, the uniquely powered RX-7 helped put Mazda on the performance car map.

I'm going to check out an 83, what to look for?

1983 GSL with 97k miles on it. Any hotspots aka rust to watch for? How about mechanical gremlins in this model?

Thanks!

the rear suspension mounts with 4 "dogbones", the upper mount has a plate around it and the edges like to collect water & rust off. I think this is true for all first gen RX7s.
Other rust spots are easy to find, rocker panels and such.
