Bought my first rx-7 in 1980 - waited 16 weeks for it to come in and I paid over sticker price. No air conditioning, no power steering, AM/FM radio but no tape deck (and I mean no cassette or 8-track).
I added the optional aluminum wheels over the base steel wheels ! And I got a sunroof - manually operated and removeable.
It had a semi-automatic choke system. When starting, you pulled the choke all the way out. As I remember, after a minute or so you pushed the choke half-way in. Then when the engine warmed up, it automatically closed the rest of the way.
Ah, the memories.
