Up for a no reserve auction is a very rare little Mazda 626 2 door coupe from 1979. This car was purchased from the original owner in Washington State years ago and was only recently insured for use in Canada. The car does run but appears to have a blown head gasket and with the wear I discovered on the cam in a previous repair I suspect a new head is in order. The car has only 66K miles, very low for a car this old and spent the last few years staying dry in a shipping container. Cosmetically it needs paint as the roof and lower front cowling shows surface rust, peeling clearcoat on the hood, a few scratches here and there, and a rust blister on the rear fender panel. Most of these cars rusted to the ground long ago so this one is in exceptional shape considering. The interior is in very good shape but has the usual cracks on the dash, and a crack in the vinyl of the driver's side bolster. The interior was redone at one time and the cloth looks basically new. Other than the interior the only thing that has been added is the RX-7 style aluminum wheels that were an option on later years. These look to have been polished at one time and look very good. Tires appear to be a matched set and look to have decent tread but they are likely old and I wouldn't trust them in the rain. The weatherstripping on the door glass is dry and cracking as well. The auto transmission shifts fine and everything works on the car to my knowledge as I had the chance to drive it for about 2 hours before it started to overheat. It's a lot of fun to drive and reminds me of my first car, an old RX-7. Stock radio works, window winders are stiff and likely just need to be used, and everything else appears to be functioning also. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email and will post anything that I may have missed.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Mazda3 to showcase CNG, Hybrid versions in Tokyo
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US.
In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.
Rumored Mazda CX-3 may not be for US
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Mazda has used its Kodo design language to make some of the most attractive, affordable cars in the world right now, with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 (pictured above), but it still lacks a crossover in the smaller class, which are becoming popular on the world market. It seems like a natural fit then, that the Japanese company would shrink its CUV design even smaller for a CX-3 to fill the gap. However, a rumor suggests that the compact might not make it to these shores.
The Mazda2-based crossover is due later this summer in Japan and is launching in Europe and emerging markets later, according to Automotive News citing a report in Japan's Nikkei newspaper. The little CUV would cost between 1.5 million yen and 2.0 million yen ($14,700-$19,500) in Japan and be available with diesel and petrol engine options. However, the report made no mention of selling it in North America. There is a glimmer of a chance for the CX-3 here. Mazda is upgrading its Mexican factory to 230,000 annual unit capacity by 2016, which gives it the room to add the new vehicle.
While the midsize CUVs are hugely popular in the US, compacts like the Buick Encore are still a small portion of things. If Mazda could time the CX-3's launch right here, it could take advantage of the lack of competition.
