Phillip Pruit's 1979 Mazda RX7: "Just like my Dad's" 

The joy these cars bring us !!!!

I cried tears of joy watching this... And I never cry😭 hopefully I can get my dream rx7 soon

man your dads reaction priceless!! literally made me cry my g!

My 1st RX-7 was a '79 I loved it!

Beautiful..I drive my 79 rx7 with a big smile everywhere

I got one in 1984. I still have it 2020

This is what's it's all about. Great video! The expression on your dad's face, that moment will never be forgotten

Miss my '79 rx7 best car I ever owned!

Sick car man, love those awesome LL Cool J style tunes too! Mad respect from Australia👍👍👍👍

Underrated channel

I love my 85 RX-7 GSL-SE 🥰

I have an 89. The car will literally last you a few life times

I still have my 1980 Rx7, I bought it 2 months after my 1973 240z Datsun was totaled out. I bought thr Rx7 because it styling reminded me of my 240z. Now, I am in search of a 240z, but keeping my original Mazda...!

The look on his face when he first revved it... and just how quickly he said goodbye was even funnier!!

Very likeable fella, handsome too. Seeing his dad come alive was great, hope the car serves them well.

That is great! I am in GA too, Atlanta area. My dad just got a red 1985 GSL-SE.

I had this car in 1979 brand new, in yellow. You get the R's up over 2500, the second 2 barrels on the carb open up, and you basically leave our space/time continuum. I wish I had kept that car!!! I sold it because I kept getting speeding tickets. Ha!

My first Rx-7 was a spitting image of that car. Corvette yellow with a tan/brown interior. Drove that thing daily for a couple years after I graduated. I built a replica model of it last year. Lots of memories with that car. I owned 2 more several years later, an 82 and an 83. The 83 had a JDM motor in it and was pretty quick. Fun cars but a pain to maintain all the time.

My dad had a Mazdaspeed 6 when i was growing up and he sold it just as i was getting into cars. Years later i now own almost the exact same speed six. His had leather and a sunroof while mine has cloth seats and no sunroof. Its cool seeing him passionate about my car.

What a great story!

Thanks for sharing! Brings back memories for myself as well. Back in 88', my girlfriend at the time had got a very low mileage used 85 Rx7 for graduation. The first time I started it, my life changed forever. Nothing on earth like a rotary engine! Bought my first Rx7 in 90, an 87 Turbo2. My second Rx7 was a 93, and I still have both to this day. I came across this vid because Im looking for an early 80s Rx7 to add to the collection. I love love love the yellow, Ive only seen a couple in photos, never on the street. As far as appreciating cars with a Father - Ive always shared that, but back in the 80s my father couldnt see why his son would be seduced by a 'rice burner'. After he drove my first Rx - He immediately understood.

Wow so amazing this story! ✊🏽✊🏽💯💯💯

Heart touching story . . Thanks .

Dude, that is the most heartwarming story. Best kinda carguy story you can find. I'm at work watching this and someone just started chopping some onions in here!

What an awesome story, I love these cars I bet it was so ahead of its time when it came out.

Only men truely understand this feel.

Dude.. i was literally talking to my boy last night about wanting a hotrod yellow 79 rx7 on gold epsilons or bbs mesh wheels and literally the next day i find your video.. i just shared the video with him and he calls me like YOOOOOOO..... it’s a sign..

The FB is my dream build

What a touching story! My first RX7 was just like this except totally stock. Bought it "sight unseen" (just an ad in Time) in fall of 1978. Have my 4th one out in the garage and drive it on weekends. Great cars!

That exhaust system gives a perfect note

Damn I love your rx7, I want one soo bad

Makes me want to get one... or finish my 80 Corolla 😔

Pięknie!

nj!!! 908..i had 3 1987 rx7 turbo2'z and my bro had the 1988 rx7 turbo anniversary edition..i miss them days

SA22 ...wawawewa......ohhhhh i miss mine, i was young and broke, live in an expensive city, lived in a building and couldn't afford to park it and eventually had to send it to the dump as no one wanted to buy a rotary

Actually rear seats were a factory option just extremely rare. They were basically for baby seats as you couldn't even fit a toddler back there hardly lol! Great story and beautiful first gen!

I'm jealous, I've been looking for rear seats for my 1983 RX7 for almost a year now and I can't find them anywhere

Nice rx7 what is the brand of the wheels and spec please

Amo esa joya desde que tenía 15 años... Soy BABY BOOMERS

BTW, the wheels & tires are awesome. What the sizes?

hello. can you tell me the sizes of the wheel and tire setup you have. are the rims 15x7 or 15x8? tires size and do they rub, had to roll fenders etc. thanks.

What exhaust system do u have on there

What size rims and tires are they?

what are the wheels and specs on at 5:50 time ????

The tiny wheels with the spokes😂

Wish they would have asked his dad, why he decided to go with an RX-7, im sure the rotary was an odd thing back then, even more so than now.

I mean, that was beautiful and all, and I almost cried, but why does it sound like an old diesel? 😅

Love rotaries, unfortunately at 6'4" most cars they come in don't love me.

👍 real nice RX7 like new 💪, love this car. I have one silver 79 all original in Florida. Go on Facebook join the group Mazderos RE (grupo) Rotary motor sport grupo

Exhaust sounds horrible
