This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new.

This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale. This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Ms. Patricia Soya in Illinois. She kept the car in excellent condition throughout her ownership and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years.

I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984. This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was new. Since new, this RX-7 has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition.

This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built. It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed. This is a superb driver's car. The car is light, quick and responsive. The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound. The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting. The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle. The brakes are excellent. The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it.

This RX-7 starts and runs very well. To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time. The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently. The engine does not smoke or run rough. The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet.

This car is a blast to drive. The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power. The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly. The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent. This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated. This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues. I know of no reason this car couldn't make a long drive anywhere.

The body is straight, solid and clean with no exterior body panel rust. The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition. The paint is clean and looks very good for the age. The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice. The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age.

The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition. The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased. The floormats were only removed for the photos. The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great. The dash is clean and in good shape. This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car.

This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning. 30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway.

Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra.

This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is more sun-faded and dull; the rest of the paint is glossy and in very good shape. The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper. The fuel gauge does not work, however the car will have a full tank of gas at pickup.

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Fiat 124 caught entirely undisguised

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Dear automakers, please continue making these kind of mistakes. Thanks to what we're guessing is some lax security, the all-new, Mazda MX-5 Miata-based Fiat 124 was spotted taking part in a photo shoot near Santa Barbara, CA. The images show what we'd consider a fairly simple rebadging job. The 124 gets new front and rear clips that not only harken back to the original 124 (not to mention other Fiat roadsters, like the Barchetta), but also serves to distance this droptop from the rest of the company's US range. The similarities between the 124 and the car it's based on are even more obvious in the cabin. This is an MX-5 interior with Fiat's big, red badge on the tiller. That means the same quality materials and knob-dial infotainment system that have been so well received in the Miata. It's under the hood, though, where the Fiat really differs from its Japanese cousin. According to our spy, the vehicle shown here features some kind of two-pedal setup – probably the six-speed Euro twin-clutch used in the 500L and Dodge Dart. Don't worry, though, a six-speed stick will also be on offer. Regardless of transmission, we can expect a 180-horsepower version of the 1.4-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder offered in the 500 Abarth. And if that's not enough good news, a dedicated Abarth model will likely arrive after launch, which our spies claim will use the 1.75-liter turbo and DCT from the Alfa Romeo 4C. While this represents a good look at the new 124, we'll probably be waiting until the LA Auto Show in November for the official look. Stay tuned.

Why you absolutely need to take your Miata to a track

Wed, Nov 23 2016

Our long-term 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata entertained us all summer, but we couldn't let the good weather pass without taking a trip to a race track. So we headed to GingerMan Raceway on the other side of Michigan to give it some exercise. It's there that I fell deeper in love with our little silver-white Club and immediately regretted not taking it to the track every single weekend prior. I make a very simple case in the video above: Miatas belong on the track. They're made for it, especially our ND Club, the most track-friendly version Mazda currently makes. The Miata is also a wonderful tool for those learning to drive in these conditions. It gives you good feedback, there isn't too much power available, but the engine's output is plenty to make things entertaining. It's also one of the more balanced performance cars you can buy today and doesn't rely on fancy electronics to go faster – it's a nearly direct connection between you and the car, with no weird intermediaries or adjustable elements. This is really the simplest form of fun. To sum up: If you have a Miata, take it to a track. If you don't have a Miata, go buy one. Watch the video again if you're not convinced. Related Video:
