I am selling this Mazda to pay for a vacation to Disney World for myself and my 12 year old daughter.  Her mother was killed in a home invasion earlier this year.  I have limited income and know that opportunities to go on a family vacation will become more limited as she gets older.  I had the option of fixing this car up eventually, or just sell it and use the money for vacation.  My plans originally were to fix it up for my daughter when she is able to drive.   

The engine runs great, I have had no problems with the engine whatsoever.  The handling on this car is probably the best out of all of the cars I have every owned.  The gas mileage is usually around 30MPG.  With gas prices going up, this will make a great car for trips around town.  I really liked this car and hate to see it go.  But I am not a mechanic and this project will take more time and money than I have.  So my loss is someone else's gain. 

Please do not expect a perfect car, this one was my daily driver for the past 10 years and has seen it's share of problems.  The clutch went out about 4 months ago and I have not been able to drive it much after.  It will start in gear, and able to drive for short distances by shifting gears between certain RPMs.  At highway speeds, the top does not 'whistle' nor leak, but is the original top and over 15 years old, it will need to be replaced.  As I live in SW Oklahoma, it has some hail damage, windshield and windows are intact.  The front driver's turn signal was broken by a runaway shopping cart that wedged onto the top of the hood, there is a dent and scratches on the hood from this.  The clear coat is peeling on the trunk, spoiler and back left side.  There are various dents and door dings on the sides of the car.  I had planned on having it repainted eventually.  The brakes need to be replaced.  I have very little mechanical ability, so I would have to take it to have these repairs done.  If you are mechanically inclined, this will be a great project car for you.   Also, the drivers seat has been worn through from getting in and out, but I put a seat cover on it. 

If there are any pictures that you would like added or emailed, let me know.  Title is clear.  I can deliver up to 200 miles, but if that is needed, I will add a delivery fee.  When picking up, it will need to be towed due to the clutch being out.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.

Mazda 767B crashes during Goodwood, suffers heavy damage [UPDATE]

Fri, Jun 26 2015

Update: Autoblog has learned that the Mazda 767B wrecked at Goodwood was being driven by Seniji Hoshino. He was not seriously harmed and was able to walk away from the crash. Hoshino's car was chassis 001 and scored a win in the GTP class of the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans. A Mazda 767B Group C racer suffered a crash the Goodwood Festival of Speed that tore off the rear wing and did some fairly serious looking front end damage. According to Jalopnik, the racer was taking a timed run during the event's famous hillclimb when it went into the hay bales. The driver is reportedly okay, though. We've reached out to Mazda and Goodwood sources to identify the pilot in question, with no luck so far. Look for an updated post later in the day if we get any answers on that front. Images of the sad wreck seem to be populating on Twitter feeds as we write this. The racing Mazda clearly suffered a big hit today; painful to look at even after the fact. But we're not sure if the damage is beyond the abilities of skilled factory workmen to fix. Our collective fingers are crossed. Mazda has a major presence at Goodwood this year, including the event's art installation. Among all of its vehicles, there are two privately owned 767Bs. These racers have a four-rotor engine, said to be good for more than 600 horsepower in racing trim, and are predecessors to the famous 787B that scored an overall win in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans.
