1986 Mazda RX-7 GXL 1.3 liter N/A rotary engine with only 19k original miles. Never driven in the snow. Stored in a Kentucky barn from 1988-2013. It has been totally mechanically restored. Body and interior are as found and untouched. Interior is like a time capsule , looks as new. Body is really nice. No rust at all. There are some paint blemishes caused by sap from the barn beams where it was stored. Mostly on the roof but there are some on the door and rear bumper/hatch. I left the body alone so the original condition could be observed. You can repaint if you like or drive as is. I have put over 3000 miles on the car since mechanical restoration. It drives great. Everything works except the A/C which I did not trouble shoot but would expect needs a recharge at a minimum. Suspension has original adjustable shocks/struts. 

List of reconditioned parts:

Fluids: engine oil change, manual transmission fluid, rear differential fluid, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, power steering fluid changed. All top quality fluids used, synthetic where applicable. 

Rubber parts: all vacuum hoses replaced with silicone hoses, upper and lower radiator hoses, rubber gas lines, misc. coolant hoses.

Gaskets: Upper manifold gaskets, intake plenum gaskets, thermostat and gasket, numerous others. 

Rubber shifter bushings, spark plugs, spark plug wires, air cleaner, oil injector rebuilt, new brake master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder bleed and fill, airbox plenum rebuilt, fuel injectors rebuilt and flow tested, fuel pump and both fuel filters replaced, the list is endless!

4 Goodyear tires with 80% tread installed. Brakes and rotors are original and barely worn!

All new wipers front and rear, new battery and horn relay. 

Engine was boroscoped and apex seals are as new. Cylinder bores are like new and clean. Car runs and starts great. Even in cold weather. Drives like new. 

I drove the car up until October last year and it was stored in a heated garage until now. Too many toys so something must go. Hard to find another in this great of shape. 

I've probably forgotten a few dozen things. Email with questions. Car can be driven anywhere. 

No trades, cash only, please only serious inquires. Thanks for looking. Winter storage for a small fee is available if you need it. Same year running parts car also available for additional fee. 

Bid with confidence. My feedback is excellent. Deposit is refundable if I misrepresented the car.

    Mazda 16X rotary engine two years away, will arrive in all-new model

    Fri, 16 Aug 2013

    We last reported on Mazda's next-generation rotary engine project in June of 2012 when the automaker built its last Renesis-powered RX-8, but rumors of this new engine's development had been around way before that final car left the production line in Japan, last year.
    We now have enthusiastic confirmation that this next-gen rotary engine is really and truly going forward. It is still referred to as 16X and has several priorities. First is to lower fuel consumption compared to the RX-8's engine, while still making gains in terms of performance. The second is to reduce the burning of oil that was happening at the highest revs. And the third and final priority, and perhaps most key for enthusiasts, is to give the powertrain a big torque upgrade.
    What we were told by a Mazda USA insider (while we are all here together at the festivities in Monterey) is that the first application of the new 16X engine will be happening in two years' time in an as yet undisclosed new model. Oh, the mind races to our eternal Mazda wish list...

    Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

    Sun, 25 May 2014

    Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
    The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
    According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.

    Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

    Fri, 22 Feb 2013

    The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
    Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
