1983 Mazda Rx7 Rx-7 Limited Edition Rotary 12a Racing Beat Rare Original on 2040-cars
Kingston, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for auction is a recently acquired 1983 Mazda RX-7 Limited Edition. You will find it pretty tough to find another 1st gen rx-7 in this condition. Odometer shows 108171. The previous owner had the motor rebuilt roughly 30k miles ago by a local rotary expert. The car has been in the previous owners possession since 1985 and garaged since 1986. Also has a "newer" carb, alternator and starter. Along with most of the steering linkage. This Limited Edition still retains its original OEM 14" BBS wheels with almost new firestone tires. The interior is an 8 out of 10 with perfect seats and an unmolested and crack free dash. Carpets are great. Its missing the stereo trim and knobs but the original stereo and eq are in place. Driver side door pull seems loose but repairable. The only upgrades I see on the car are Racing beat header, cat and muffler along with a racing beat air filter housing. It runs great, drives as it should and has been maintained and repaired by the same mechanic since the previous owner purchased it in 85. The car was repainted about 10yrs ago and I have the receipt for $3500. The paint is beautiful and blemish free. Trailing links are perfect as well. Did I mention no winters and garaged since 86. No rain for that matter. I was gonna keep the car and do some modifications but it is simply too nice of a car to do that to. Also included in the auction is a set of reupholstered front seat that have never been installed since they were done. Title is in hand and ready for a new owner. Car will need inspections but if the winning bidder is from PA they will be included in the sale. Car is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early. Car can be inspected while the auction is on by simply messaging me and making an appointment. Do not bid if you do not plan to pay. This is a rare opportunity to get yourself an unmolested rust free 1st generation rotary!! Any questions simply ask!
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION STARTING AT 1 DOLLAR. WINNING BIDDER GET THIS CAR! |

Mazda halts Mazda3 sales for fuel tank problem
Tue, Oct 6 2015Mazda is issuing a stop sale and recall on 14,406 examples of the 2015-2016 Mazda3 in the US with build dates between May 21, 2015, and August 24, 2015, due to a possible fuel leak. There are no reports or accidents or injuries from this problem. According to the company, a defective fuel shut-off valve can allow gasoline to move from the tank and fill the charcoal emissions canister. If it gets too full, there can be a leak, which obviously carries the risk of a possible fire. The engine might stall, as well. Affected owners will be notified to bring their Mazda3 in "as soon as possible." Dealers will inspect the vehicles, and if a problem is found, the fuel tank and charcoal emissions canister will be replaced. During the downtime, customers will get a free rental or loaner car, as well. Those who are particularly concerned can also call Mazda roadside assistance to have their vehicle delivered for the check and possible repair. Related Video: Mazda Issues Stop Sale and Stop Delivery for Mazda3 Fuel Tank Recall WASHINGTON, DC (October 2, 2015) – Mazda Motor Corporation will conduct a Safety and Emission Recall Campaign for certain 2015-2016 Mazda3 vehicles (built from May 21, 2015 through August 24, 2015), which could have a safety-related problem. A defect in the fuel shut-off valve may allow fuel to flow from the fuel tank into the charcoal emissions canister. With this condition, the check engine light may illuminate, and if the fuel exceeds the canister capacity, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire and/or engine stalling. Approximately 14,270 vehicles in the U.S. and 136 vehicles in Puerto Rico are affected. Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by mail in early October. They will be informed to bring their vehicle to the nearest Mazda dealer as soon as possible. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank to determine if the defect exists on the vehicle. If the defect exists, the dealer will replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister at no cost to the customer. A rental or loaner vehicle will be provided at no cost to the owner, until the vehicle is repaired for this concern. If there are no concerns, the vehicle will be returned to the customer. Should a customer not want to drive the vehicle to the dealership, they may contact Mazda's 24-hour Roadside Assistance service at 800-866-1998 and have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the dealership. There have been no reports of accidents or injury related to this issue.
Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
