I'm the second owner of this beautiful show stopper of a car and it's with great sadness I have to sell after only 10 mos. of ownership. A serious leg injury has made it impossible for me to drive a clutch so my loss will definitely be your gain. With only 3,500 of these made in original production in 1995 this is a rare find! This car has truly been pampered as my pictures indicate. The original owner had it garage kept and it was strictly a weekend car as you can see from the low mileage of 40,343. I've only put 445 miles on it during the time I've owned it . It is the 5 speed manual transmission Limited Edition MX-5 , color: Merlot Mica, (deep burgundy) with the "Popular Equipment Package" that includes power steering, ABS, power door mirrors, power windows, power antenna, cruise control, AC, leather seats, steering wheel and Nardi shifter. In addition other original options that are included are 15" BBS wheels, CD player with 4 speakers, radio, AC, like new carpeted M edition floor mats, tonneau and boot covers, luggage rack, stainless steel sill plates with M edition stamping.Also added was a Clifford Alarm System. I also have the original owners and shop manuals along with maintenance records going back to date of purchase. I will also include a car cover. The original owner, although a retired, older gentleman, fancied himself a racing enthusiast and installed several after market options including a pop up racing fuel cap, special shocks, springs, sway bar, all to the tune of about $2000. From what I understand he never actually raced the car. He was a perfectionist and would bring his own oil and filter to each service and wouldn't allow the "Next Service Due" sticker to be placed on the window! That will give you an idea of how this car has been babied and I've kept up the tradition for the short, but wonderful, time I've owned. I will truly miss this car!!

The car drives great, shifts smoothly, has no rattles or creaks, no rust or scratches, and the only defects are a very few small blemishes on the paint, wear to the drivers seat on the side from the seat belt rubbing, some minor corrosion on 2 of the BBS rims. All are defects that you have to really look for to actually see. They certainly don't detract from the look and feel of this wonderful little roadster.

Serious bidders only please. $1000 deposit, via PayPal, due immediately upon sale. Local delivery only unless buyers provides shipping.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:

Mazda Miata 25th anniversary display is roadster heaven on Earth

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata, Mazda has put together a rather large display at its New York Auto Show booth, showing off significant models from the diminutive roadsters history.
The display represents a healthy split of volume models, with cars 14, 15 and 17 sitting alongside cars 500,000 and 700,000. There are also more than a few concept cars in the offering, such as the Super20 Concept we drove a few years back, as well as older offerings, like the Club Racer concept from the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the M-Speedster from the 1995 Chicago show and the M Coupe from the 1996 New York Auto Show.
We've put together a gallery of images of the historical Miata display, which you can view above. Take a look and then let us know which of Mazda's awesome roadsters is your favorite.
