It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing 2 Mercedes, 2 Olds 442's, a Jaguar XK8 Coupe, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any auction early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.

I purchased this car from it's original owner. It has always been used as an occasional driver, and I was told it had never spent a night outside or been driven in the rain. While I can't prove this, the depth of the original paint, bright chrome, clear lenses, supple rubber gaskets, still clean as new wheels, beautiful undercarriage, and flawless convertible top certainly make a strong case to back the statement. You have to drive it to truly understand how tight everything on the car feels. I have kept it garaged with the original owner's custom cover, and on a Battery Plus trickle charger since I bought it. The cover will go with the sale. I have the owner's manual, original window sticker, and the top boot that has never been taken out of it's packaging.

The body is almost perfect. There is one large scratch on the passenger door (noted in a picture), and several minor scratches around the car that aren't visible except under close observation. The paint is a very shiny, deep gloss black. All chrome is excellent. The BBS wheels are bright and without curb rash, and have premium Michelin tires with less than 1000 miles. The trunk looks unused. Under the hood is extremely clean. The convertible top shows no wear or lose of color. The leather interior is still supple and fade free. I believe the car has always been driven with the top up, and the interior has remained new in appearance. The driver side outside seat bolster shows a little wear, otherwise I would call the interior perfect. All glass is scratch free, including the convertible rear window. That's how nice she is.

1988 was the first year for the RX7 convertible, and it was a very limited production car. This one was delivered loaded. I have the original window sticker showing a $24,285 price. Options include air conditioning, power windows, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, cruise control, cassette player (remember those?), compact disc player with 6 speakers that included speakers in the headrests, leather seats and door trim, glass rear window with defroster, center console with armrest, BBS wheels, halogen headlamps. and illuminated glove box and ignition. For the year, this was about as good as it got.

Everything works perfectly on this beauty. The power top has rarely been used, and performs flawlessly. The shifter and clutch have no slack. The power windows are smooth. I have just had the A/C system serviced, and she blows cold on the hottest day. All fluids have been serviced since my ownership, and the oil changed again less than 100 miles ago. She can be driven anywhere without worries. While I would prefer to see it go to an appreciative collector, it would make a perfect first car for somebody's kid. I hate to see her go, but it's time. Whoever buys this lady will be more than happy with their purchase. Is it you?

2016 Mazda2 gets EPA-rated 43 mpg highway

Fri, Apr 10 2015

To paraphrase the famous quote from astronaut Neil Armstrong, that's one small step for man and one giant leap for the Mazda2. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has weighed in on the new Mazda2 version, and says it gets a fuel-economy rating of 33 miles per gallon city and 43 mpg highway with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stick-shift gas-mileage figures are 31 city and 42 highway, which are still substantially better than the 29/35 rating from the most recent iteration of the model. That's about a 15-percent jump in fuel economy, people. More importantly, the Mazda2 beats out competitors such as the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio Eco and even the Honda Fit in terms of fuel efficiency, which is pretty good company. The Mazda2 boasts a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. But it is the upgrade to six-speed transmissions in both manual and automatic versions that seem to be making the biggest difference in the ratings. Mazda started unveiling details about the next-generation Mazda2 last year, and last fall began production of the model at Mazda's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. At that time, the Japanese automaker had already sold more than 2.4 million Mazda2 vehicles since the model's introduction in 1996. Related Video:

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage

Mon, Aug 1 2016

It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.
