Ever heard of the 1/100 non restamped 89/90 GTUs rx7s? There was only 1100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991 and only 100 of them did not get an X through the firewall.
These 100 Non restamped models are the rarest rx7 fc's ever produced. out of that 100 made there were only three color options: 83 red on black 10 black on black 7 white on blue There is a list that has been going on the RX7Club for over 17 years now that shows almost everyone of the hard to find 100 rare models. So far there are only 41 of the cars that have been found!
I am Number 41. My build thread has my car well cataloged and I will be placing my vin on the list here as well, however this list I am putting my name on here is over two years old and the last person who posted on it was the admin of the club who just started the 1500 10th AE Turbo II model thread.
So that has me making a new thread for 2020, one that will show what is still around today. There are only 100 of these models that are not restamped and do not have an X through the firewall and so far in the last 20 years there has only been 41 of them found around the entire world!
So this has me asking the question, how many are there left? If there was only 43 of them found, how many of those 43 still exist? How many of those vin numbers still exist today?
This is not a thread to argue how they came to be or what they came with, this is a VIN registry thread. If you have or know of the GTUs and can show that it is alive please post up!
How do you know you have a GTUs??? There are many rumors to how they came to be. Here are a couple facts that will assure you have one:
The vin number will be non turbo, but the inner door tags will show it as a turbo. Only the turbo cars came with 16inch rims, these tags are reserved only for them, the GTUs has that door tag with a non turbo vin. Other parts include a 4:30 differential, different gearing to the steering rack and transmission, turbo seats, no sunroof. Some say they were promo cars to be 20b na's, some say just turbo cars, some say they just threw **** together and called it a rx7. Fact is the VIN and the door tags will let you know, the other parts will assure how unmolested it is!
So lets start the list of what GTUs cars still exist in 2020:

#1 Here is my 1989 1/100 non restamped GTUs.
If you are lucky enough to have one of the rarest 100 none restamp models please be sure to post up as many pictures of the car as you can. For history sake. If you have one of the 1000 restamped 89/90 models please post at least the firewall pictures of the vin number like this:
If you have one of these cars or know someone that does, tell them about the list or post it up for them! A picture of the vin on the firewall and one of the door tags is all that is required to register the car on this thread. There are a lot of people that make claims to having these rare models and this can cause confusion to how many are actually still in existence.
Here is how each post should look:
A picture of the car, the vin and the door tags. Any extra information about the owner or the condition of it at this time is always appreciated!
Re: The Official Mazda RX7 GTUs Owners Club Thread
This is a great idea because it is possible for someone like this to just start printing GTUs stickers and putting them on any model that has similar options put on it that the GTUs came with.
with the new trend being the GTUs and so many people like this making claims their cars are GTUs models, the only way to assure they are not making false claims is by having the vin numbers prove it here!
I also like that this will put to rest the rumor of how many were made. They just keep making up numbers with no sources to back their claims. there are not 2000, 1200,1100 or even 100. So far only the 41 have been found and the thread also just had one black one discredited as a GTU.
There is already people claiming their S4 base as a GTUs
Re: The Official Mazda RX7 GTUs Owners Club Thread
we need to everyone who claims they have one of these rare models to post a picture of the car, the firewall and the door tags. This is the only way to avoid people claiming they have one of the rare models when they do not and messing up the registration list or owners club lists like this:
So if you know someone who has one of these cars and would like it to be registered or you would like to be registered on the list then go to any of those groups and provide the pictures that prove you have the rare GTUs model!
