1973 Mazda B1600 Ute 1.6l Classic Rare Truck Rwd on 2040-cars
Douglas, Arizona, United States
Arizona Barn find 1973 Mazda B1600 I've known the owner for the past 20+ years it used to be a daily driver for some time until it was parked for years, Car was manufactured before the 6 digit odometer. 5 digit odometer reads 97600, title says 197,600 Actual miles. I've used the car a bit so miles will differ from title, it will have about 100 extra miles or so. Car is very solid did not have any body work done to it. Current paint is the closest possible to the original one. I had the bench seat and the door panels recovered. Partially restored, fresh paint not the greatest in the world but at least is protected for now.I disassembled the dashboard to have it painted. I will have it fully assembled before the auction ends. it's missing some heater/vent rubber pads. am/fm stereo looks to be the original one but it was not hooked up. I will leave it as it was.
Needs the following: wiper blades, tires, brakes, a good tune up, windshield is a bit cracked from the bottom, might need a new windshield gasket it shrank a bit, needs interior floor carpeting, small rust was found on the floor panels and it was repaired, needs new headliner, sunvisors are still there but no headliner, needs door weatherstrip, gas tank might need to be cleaned, dashboard will also need to be recovered, original steering wheel with horn button that was working before going to the autopaint shop, now horn doesn't work. it just needs details here and there truck runs and drives very good for the age, this is the perfect project. this truck is by no means in showroom condition I saved it from the wreck yard or being left to rot away. No warranty expressed or implied. Sold as is where is. I will assist buyer with shipping but will not be responsible for any shipping fees. $500 paypal non-refundable deposit due 48hrs after auction ends the rest has to be via certified funds or cash in person. I can hold the truck for no more than 15 days after payment has cleared. please ask any questions prior to bidding. Thank you for looking! |

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
Mazda's Hofu plant builds its ten-millionth car
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Ten million is a lot no matter which way you cut it, and no matter what you're talking about: Ten million dollars, ten million miles, ten million people... certainly ten million cars. And that's the milestone that Mazda's Hofu plant in Yamaguchi prefecture of Japan has just achieved.
The Hofu facility has been in operation since 1982, and was supplemented with a second plant on the same site ten years later. Hofu reached a million units built in 1986 and five million in 2002. But with production now at 482,100 units per year, it took less than twelve years to double that previous milestone.
The magic ten-millionth car was a new Mazda6 (known locally as the Atenza), which is built at Hofu Plant No. 2, while Hofu Plant No. 1 gears up for the new Mazda3 (aka Axela). Scroll down below for a related press release.
Mazdaspeed2 supermini hot hatch under consideration
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Though the Ford Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 Abarth (and arguably the Mini Cooper S) may stand pretty much alone in the North American market, in overseas markets, supermini hot hatches are a big deal. Unfortunately, challengers like the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo never make it to our showrooms, but word has it that there's soon to be a new entry on the market.
That would be the Mazdaspeed2, which would be badged in certain markets as the Mazda2 MPS. Speaking with Australian site CarAdvice.com.au at the launch of the Mazda2 on which it would be based, the Japanese automaker's global sales chief and the hatchback's deputy product manager hinted that such a product is definitely being discussed, even if it hasn't yet been approved.
This wouldn't be the first time such a notion were entertained, as Mazda has shown numerous performance concepts based on the previous Mazda2/Demio over the years, but none have come to fruition.
