Questions, please email or call/text John at 440-339-4341. 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 Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history
Wed, 10 Sep 2014The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.
Next Mazdaspeed3 could look this good
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Mazda showed off its brand-new 2014 Mazda3 at an event in New York City earlier this week, and we have to say, at first blush, we're pretty impressed. It looks fantastic - like a smaller, hatch'd version of the already sleek Mazda6 sedan that went on sale earlier this year. And with a 200-pound weight reduction, efficient Skyactiv gasoline engines underhood and Mazda's usual focus on driving dynamics above all, we're willing to bet that the new Three will be a pretty decent steer.
Of course, being enthusiasts, we're already setting our sights on the next-generation Mazdaspeed3, rendered here by artist Theo Chin. To our eyes, it's not a very imaginative transformation, but is likely a spot-on rendering for what the next car will look like. And it's really, really hot.
While Mazda hasn't exactly confirmed that the new Speed3 will be coming, sources within the automaker have indicated that a third-generation version of the MS3 is under development. Thing is, the Japanese automaker wants to give the standard Mazda3 some time to grow in the market, so we might not see the new Speed3 until something like 2016, with a possible diesel version to arrive before then.
Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.
