This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new. 

This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale.  This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter. 

I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984.  This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was bought brand new.  The car has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition.  

This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built.  It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed.  This is a superb driver's car.  The car is light, quick and responsive.  The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound.  The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting.  The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle.  The brakes are excellent.  The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it. 
  
This RX-7 starts and runs very well.  To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time.  The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently.  The engine does not smoke or run rough.  The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet.  

This car is a blast to drive.  The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power.  The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly.  The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent.  This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated.  This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues whatsoever.  I would not hesitate to take this car on a long drive anywhere. 

The body is straight, solid and clean.  I would say the car is about 95% rust-free with very little rust.  The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition.  The paint is clean and looks very good for the age.  The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice.  The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age.

The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition.  The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased.  The floormats were only removed for the photos.  The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great.  The dash is clean and in good shape.  This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Patricia Soya who lived in Illinois.  She kept the car in excellent condition and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years. 

This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning.  30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway.

Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra. 

This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new.  Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, small rust bubbles, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There are a few minor spots of rust- these are small in size and superficial only. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is somewhat sun-faded and dull.  The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper.  

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Mazda returning to top-tier racing with diesel-powered prototype in USCC

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Mazda has unveiled its latest challenger in the top flight of endurance racing, a diesel-powered prototype that will campaign the inaugural, 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The new Skyactiv-D-powered car will make its race debut at January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"This is the most significant step Mazda has taken towards returning to the global racing stage since our overall victory at Le Mans in 1991," said the director of Mazda Motorsports, John Doonan. That historic racecar, the rotary-powered 787B, has grown to become one of Mazda's many, well-known racers.
More recently, the Japanese brand has been making waves in the Grand-Am series, campaigning RX-8s and, most recently, running diesel-powered Mazda6 sedans in the GX-class. Mazda will campaign two factory-backed prototypes at Daytona. Driver lineups will be announced closer to race day.

2017 Fiat 124 Spider priced below most Miatas

Fri, Apr 29 2016

The Fiat 124 Spider and Mazda MX-5 Miata might be siblings, but all that means is the rivalry between the two cars will be unusually intense. Pricing for the reborn 124 has been released and is added proof of that fact – aside from the very base trim, the turbocharged Italian is cheaper than its Zoom-Zoomy brother. Fiat's base model, the 124 Spider Classica, starts at $25,990. The MX-5 Sport isn't much cheaper, at $25,735. Both cars get 16-inch alloy wheels, black cloth seats, LED taillights, but the Mazda will throw in LED headlights. It's also interesting to note that the two cars have differing destination charges – $995 for the Fiat and $820 for the Mazda. Move up to the mid-range Fiat, and you'll start to see the "Italian" car eke out a pricing advantage. The Lusso, Italian for luxury, rings up at $28,490 compared to the MX-5 Grand Touring's $30,885. Yes, we're comparing the middle-tier 124 to the range-topping Mazda, because the mid-range, enthusiast-oriented Club is more analogous to the 124's Abarth model. The Lusso matches the MX-5 GT with 17-inch alloys, heated leather seats, a 7.0-inch touchscreen with navigation, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The Mazda does come with a bevy of safety features as standard – blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beam control – which look to be optional on the Fiat, so take that into consideration if you're thinking about buying one of the two. We enthusiasts are most interested in the matchup between the 124 Spider Abarth and the MX-5 Club. The scorpion-badged 124 starts at $29,190 and the Club at $29,420. You'll get more power – 10 additional ponies according to FCA – as well as all the performance goodies from the Club. There are Bilstein-tuned shocks, a mechanical limited-slip diff, and a front strut bar, plus a very imposing exhaust note. Recaro seats will be an optional extra, as will Brembo brakes (the MX-5 bundles them with BBS wheels). Finally, there's the 124 Spider Prima Edizione Lusso. The limited-edition wears Azzurro Italia (translation: pretty blue) paint and rings in at $35,995, which gets you a bunch of swag on top of the normal Lusso stuff. Oh, and if you choose the automatic transmission, you'll be punished with a $1,350 charge, regardless of which Fiata you go for. That's less than the premium Mazda charges for an automatic on an MX-5 Club or GT, but more than the $1,480 extra it charges for a two-pedal Sport.
