I have a 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. The Buy it now price is set at a extremely fair value for this car based on the now near 30 year old average condition of the available inventory, I know it does not look like much in the pictures but dont judge this book by it's cover. I can tell you from all my years of experience with 1st generation RX'7's, this is a solid, nice foundation platform to build something of your choice or use like it is. The car has been lightened up I assume for racing by persons unknown. It has most of the interior removed, Has both front seats and they show some wear but neither is ripped or torn. Engine runs and sounds strong. Has had most accessories removed from the engine compartment, only starter & alternator remain. Has high flow inlet air filter. Car has steel braided brake lines on all four wheels and nice aftermarket steering wheel. I installed 4 near new Falkin ZE-512 tires and recently reconditioned the factory wheels & center caps. Car has 4 wheel disc brakes, rear wheel drive with a limited slip rear end with 4.07 gear ratio. Radio has been removed and a racing tach installed in the instrument cluster. All electrical, lights, signals, alternator etc appear to work. Paint job is poor and clear coat is coming off. Car has the RARE & desireable Factory 3 piece rear spoiler, I have had many offers just for the spoiler but would rather it go with the car. Car runs and drives well, when I bought the car the previous owner drove it to my house for delivery, about 30 miles without any problems. I have only driven the car around the block and seems to run & shift gears just fine, clutch seems to be in good shape. Car would be perfect platform for a track race car or V8 swap since it is already stripped down. Negative things are the front rh fender is bent at the vertical rear edge parallel to the rh door. The car has the adjustment screw for the cold start fast idle system missing, it starts good but needs accelerator help till warms up then idles fine. Rear hatch struts need to be replaced. All door and rear hatch key lock cylinders have been removed. I have clear Texas title and the registration is current till the end of Feb 2013. The state inspection just ran out at the end of 2012, it has been a regular driver. I am a 1st gen RX7 fan and currently own 9. I bought this car to part out and use the parts to keep my fleet running. I have decided this car does not deserve to be junked as it is in good driveable condition with no rust issues at all, very clean body. Mileage show 69,xxx but I doubt this is original as the dash cluster has been modified or replaced. I hope the car will go to someone that can get more good use from it and help me preserve the 1st generation legacy, they are getting harder and harder to find, especially the rare 84 & 85 GSL-SE models, I do all I can to keep them alive! Please contact me by email with questions and Thanks for looking.

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.
Mazda CX-3 crossover coming to LA
Tue, 28 Oct 2014The Mazda booth at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will showcase some new crossovers. In addition to the refreshed CX-5 that we're expecting, the Japanese automaker has announced plans to unveil its new CX-3 compact crossover.
According to Mazda, the brand's entry into the compact CUV market will feature "the full range of SKYACTIV technology and KODO - Soul of Motion design." We take that to mean lightweight chassis and body architectures along with fuel-sipping gasoline and, perhaps, diesel engines.
The CX-3 will have to take on a slew of upcoming competitors, including the Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade, and reports indicate it will share a platform with the Mazda2, which is just starting production in Mexico. We don't yet know if it will be front-wheel drive only or if all-wheel drive will be optional. The CUV is also likely to share the Mazda2's engine, which isn't yet revealed for the North American market. Japan gets the 2 with either a 1.3-liter gasoline engine or a 1.5-liter diesel.
