I bought this truck a few years ago as a straight but yellow, faded vehicle. Two years of restoring has this truck in great shape. Garage kept since I've had it, paint about three years old. Has a ding or two here and there. A few things that's been done:
Previous owner stated original 13B 4 port engine was rebuilt at 80K. I have no documentation, but truck starts and runs fine hot or cold. Puff of smoke at startup, clears up quick.
New interior, bench seat has rip on driver side.
Carb rebuilt
Clutch rebuilt, 5 speed transmission with 80K miles installed.
All fluids and hoses new, brakes and shocks new on front.
AC underdash unit installed with compressor and condenser, I never completed install.
Rino-liner installed in bed after paint.
All window trim, seals brand new OEM.
Tires little better than 50%
New water pump and associated gaskets.
Keep in mind this isn't a complete restoration, the original wheels were painted by me to look good. Rear bumper painted as welI, has a small dent or two. This is a rotary engine, if you're not familiar with rotarys this might not be for you. The suspension is original, but truck steers tight and true. I truly love this truck, but have to make room in garage. Be confident to drive it anywhere. If you need more pics or info, just ask.
NO TRADES

For some clarity, 'new interior' means new carpet and headliner, dash top in great shape with no cracks. Bezel has an extra switch installed by previous owner, nothing attached to it. Also, previous owner cut holes in door panels for speakers.

2009-2013 Mazda6 door latch recall covers 161k cars
Mon, 30 Sep 2013Mazda is voluntarily recalling 161,400 Mazda6 cars due to door latch mounting screws that may loosen, which could cause a door to open while the vehicle is in motion, thereby increasing the risk of accident or injury. The recall covers 2009 through 2013 Mazda6 models manufactured between February 4, 2008 and August 24, 2012.
The recall is expected to begin by October 18, 2013. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will provide repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata a knight in white satin
Wed, 19 Nov 2014We're not going to lie to you. The reason you're seeing the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata on these pages again is solely because this is the first time we're seeing the roadster displayed in a color other than the ruby shade it was first shown in. Okay, okay, so this is the first time the Miata is being displayed at a North American auto show other than SEMA, and we'd say that this is the first time Mazda is showing a US-spec model, but clearly this is a right-hand-drive car. Either way, there's still not much to it yet, especially since Mazda is still withholding power and performance figures.
As expected, the ND Miata, as it is already known among the cognoscenti, will receive a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder and the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic here in the US. The 1.5-liter model engine that had been linked to the car back in the rumormill stage will not make it to our showrooms.
Preliminary specifications still show the Miata measuring just 154.1 inches in length overall, with an increased track width to 68.1 inches and a low, low overall height of 49.0 inches. Despite the larger-displacement engine and its presumably heavier weight, Mazda is still claiming ideal 50:50 weight distribution and a weight loss of over 220 pounds versus today's NC generation. All of which sounds like the Miata has the right ingredients to make good on its promised Jinba Ittai ("rider and horse as one") driving experience.
Mazda sells 10 millionth car in the US, does something special
Wed, 23 Oct 2013When Lauren Carter of Glen Ellyn, IL was in the market for her first car, she went for a Mazda3. Not a bad choice, but not necessarily remarkable on the surface. After all, Mazda sold 123,361 of them here last year alone. What she didn't know was that the car she bought was the 10 millionth Mazda had sold in the US over the course of its 43-year history here, since selling its first rotary-powered R100 here in 1970.
Rather than let the occasion pass with nothing more than a press release (like the one below), Mazda gave Lauren a brand-new 2014 Mazda3 to replace the 2013 model she had bought. Which is a nice gesture, of course, but also enables Mazda to hold on to the landmark 10,000,000th car in its heritage collection.
