Pre-production 1990 Mazda Miata on 2040-cars
Roswell, Georgia, United States
|
1990 Pre-Production Mazda Miata "Barn Find" (actually a storage unit find). Manufactured March, 1989. According to internet sources VIN 00090 was the first Miata available for retail sale. This makes VIN 00013-00089 Pre-Production cars (the first 12 were crushed). https://sites.google.com/site/miata00508/ I am a Miata owner since 1990 and have several Miata's in my collection. If you desire a Miata collection there are a few must haves; 1991 BRG, a 1992 yellow, a 1993 SE, and a pre-production 1990. While there are 4000 BRGs and 1500 Yellows there are only 77 pre-production 1990 Miata's! If you have read this far then you are interested in it for the serial number and future collectability and not as a daily driver (there are 500,000 other Miatas to buy for daily driving) 00064 first sold in Colorado but lived most of it's life in New Mexico and North Carolina. It was driven daily by the previous owners and now sports 145k miles. I have gone over this car top to bottom - documenting several assembly line paint pen marks and unusual fasteners that mke it different from later Production cars. It runs and drives great and is nearly 100% original including the smooth case diff! The one major item I have noticed is the core support, hood and front bumper cover are not original apparently due to an accident early in its life. Otherwise it is rust free in all the usual spots (quarters, trunk floor and floor pans) but it does have some very minor surface rust on the front fenders that will need to be taken care of when repainted. The white paint is peeling in spots (like all white 1990-1992 Miata's do - Mazda had a TSB to for a repaint through 1992) so a repaint is in order for this collectible and should not detract from any collectible value. Shocks are dated Feb 1989, Wheels and center caps are dated Mar 1989. I inspected under the carpet for a build sheet but one was not there. I do have the Mazda Service history pulled from their database and includes the original owners name. you tube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rttDS_lUnA&feature=youtu.be Shipping if your responsibility (or drive it home). If you have less than 20 positive feedback I reserve the right to cancel your bid/BIN. |

Why the 38-mpg 2014 Mazda6 is on dealer lots, but you can't drive it
Fri, 21 Dec 2012If you stop by your local Mazda dealer this month, with any luck, you'll see the much-anticipated 2014 Mazda6 parked in the showroom - there are already a few hundred of them out there. That's quite an accomplishment in light of the fact that it isn't even calendar year 2013. The move is part of a strategic decision by the Japanese automaker, which is hoping to capitalize on holiday showroom traffic. (The last five days of the year are typically among the busiest dealer days all year).
If you happen to spy the rakish sedan, you may notice something missing - a window sticker. That's because Mazda (like other automakers) can't legally display the Monroney on a 2014 model year vehicle until January 1, 2013. According to Autoblog sources, Mazda dealers are legally prohibited from letting you test drive until the start of 2013, so it's more of a sneak preview than anything else. Even so, we reckon shoppers will be impressed when they finally get a look at those window stickers - Mazda hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet, but Autoblog has learned that the 2014 model will carry a pair of impressive numbers: EPA estimates of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway using regular gas.

Mazda 767B crashes during Goodwood, suffers heavy damage [UPDATE]
Fri, Jun 26 2015Update: 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.
