Future Classics
byJason
The Mazda RX7 used to be a cult classic, however with the explosion of the Fast and Furious movie series it has become mainstream. Now hugely popular especially among the younger generations the quirky rotary powered sports car is sure to be a future classic.
Why it’s a future classic
Future classic is almost the wrong term here. The car is a classic now. Oddly enough over 800,000 RX7s were produced meaning the car is hardly rare. However as it’s aged and once production ended the RX7 became highly sought after and sometimes that is more important in making a car a collector car then production number. The RX7 has a rabid fan base of young car guys and gals and this ensures it’s collect ability going forward.
Right now some RX7 models are still pretty affordable. Of course conditions range from poor to show room new. It seems that the second generation is the easiest to find these days, especially if bargain hunting. The first generations production numbers were quite low making the car difficult to find in good shape, while the third generation is hugely popular these days because of it’s HUGE aftermarket and popularity.
So the combination of desirability, fun to drive characteristics, and uniqueness make the RX7 a future classic.
