1979 Mazda Rx-7 Gs Coupe 2-door 1.1l, Seahawks Plate! Rx 7 Rotary Sports Car 12a on 2040-cars

When is the last time you saw this iconic sports car on the road?! I was pretty excited to find this very special 1979 Mazda RX7. The gal I bought it from had owned the car since new, but when family matters (kids) got in the way, she parked the car around 1994. There it stayed garaged for 20 years until she decided to part with it. The car is completely stock and unmodified. Still sporting it's shiny mostly original paint and black vinyl interior in excellent shape. This is a highly optioned car, fitted with sunroof, AC and auto transmission. 1979 is the first year of the RX7, and the only year in it's pure form. From 1980 RX7 received numerous revisions to the body and mechanical systems. This is an unmolested car without any modifications whatsoever. The body is very straight and 100% rust free. It appears the passenger side fender was repainted at some point. Sunroof can be opened, or removed completely. Original storage pouch and wind deflector are present. New hatch struts. Windshield has a crack down low. Interior is perfect with the only flaw being 2 tears in the vinyl seats. Dash is perfect. All electrical system is in working order, including AC. Engine starts right up and has plenty of power, it smokes a bit upon cold startup, but clears up after a minute of driving. According to the research I've done this is quite normal for older rotaries, and does not pose a problem. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and really is quite sporty! Original alloy wheels with a matching spare in the trunk. Tires are older, but have full tread and hold air just fine. Braking system has new master cylinder, brake pads and flushed with new fluid. Radiator has new hoses, coolant system flush and new fluid. Pressure tested and in good order. Car always holds good temperature regardless of driving condition. New alternator, all belts, spark plugs and a fresh oil change. In short, this is a very original survivor, that is road ready and can be enjoyed as-is, or restored to full glory. My intent was to have the windshield replaced (quoted $150) and have the car painted, but plans have changed and I must concentrate on other projects. I hope this deserving car gets to a true enthusiast who will fully appreciate it. I have clear title in my name, and can arrange shipping anywhere in US if needed at buyer's expense. Thank you

Mazda creates reproduction parts program for North American MX-5 Miata
Tue, Oct 29 2019In 2017 Mazda announced a restoration program for the MX-5 Miata in Japan. The good news was that owners of Miatas that looked like they'd been thoroughly enjoyed for decades could get their convertibles returned to as-new condition. The bad news is that the program was a trial for "quality verification," and only open to the Japanese market. At the time, Mazda Japan said it was "considering re-supply of parts that became discontinued" for the first-gen NA series produced from 1989 to 1997. In February this year, the carmaker's then-CEO revealed that "Our fans can be reassured that additional parts, identified by owners and specialty shops, will become available by June of this year." The time has come, Mazda North America announcing a reproduction parts program for first-gen Miatas with a catalog of more than 1,100 new and legacy components. The automaker says it spoke to Miata clubs and shops to determine which parts were needed most. Among this first salvo will be a fabric soft top using the same rear screen material from the NA series, roller mechanism for the side windows, brake calipers, and a set of aluminum Enkei wheels in the original design that are lighter and boast a better finish. Perhaps even better are the arcane OEM parts that can be desperately hard to source for era-appropriate restorations, like grommets, bolts, gas shocks and the "Roadster" badge that's an eBay go-to (called a "Mascot" on the parts list). Each piece has been redeveloped to take advantage of modern materials and build techniques while maintaining the look of the period-correct original. The parts list PDF runs to 42 pages. Anyone with a TLC-starved Miata in the garage, the love your jinba ittai droptop has been waiting for is here. Â
Race-inspired Mazda 3, CX-5, and Miata look great with white letter tires
Tue, Jan 14 2020At the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, a customization show that is kind of like SEMA but definitely not the same, manufacturers promote what is available and explore what's possible. Mazda brought a variety of vehicles to the show, but none more intriguing than the Mazda Motorsports Miata, Mazda3, and CX-5 concepts. The trio has race-inspired graphics, as well as a slew of visual and mechanical changes. The three vehicles have a core pack of changes, then each one has its own signature pieces to create some differentiation. The roadster, hatchback, and crossover have height-adjustable suspensions, upgraded brakes, MazdaSpeed tow hooks, circular number body decals, new wheel nuts, Alcantara steering wheels and shift knobs, special heel plates, MazdaSpeed six-point harnesses, and MazdaSpeed sport seats. The Miata and 3 have Fujitsubo stainless mufflers, while the CX-5 has a slightly different exhaust. The Roadster appropriately has the most involved individual upgrades. It has a body kit with front, side, and rear alterations, and it sits on RAYS ZE40 17x7.5J wheels wrapped in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R17 rubber with beautiful white lettering. It also has a Cusco roll bar, a MazdaSpeed rear spoiler, a MazdaSpeed strut bar, and a MazdaSpeed lower arm bar. Inside, the door trim, decoration panel, shift boot, center console lid, and parking brake boot are draped in Alcantara. An aluminum pedal set is adds a final touch of polish. On the Mazda 3 hatchback, the aero kit is specifically noted to be "Signature Style." Mazda also upgraded the strut bar and lower arm bar, and threw on Rays ZE40 18x7.5J wheels in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R18 tires, also with white lettering. Black mirror caps, a scuff plate, and a sports pedal set complete the concept. On the CX-5, Mazda made it sportier but also added some crossover-focused features, too.. It has Mazda-styled aero, an Auto Exe sports muffler Rays G25EDGE F1 20x8.5J wheels, Bridgestone ALENZA001 255 / 45R20 tires with white lettering, and a new wheel nut set. It also has a scuff plate, premium floor mats, a premium luggage mat, and sports pedals. For now, these are only concepts, with no word as to whether anything similar could hit Japanese markets, let alone U.S. shores. A Mazda engineer previously said a MazdaSpeed3 wouldn't happen, but the company is reportedly considering a 3 with a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
