1986 Mazda RX-7 GXL 1.3 liter N/A rotary engine with only 19k original miles. Never driven in the snow. Stored in a Kentucky barn from 1988-2013. It has been totally mechanically restored. Body and interior are as found and untouched. Interior is like a time capsule , looks as new. Body is really nice. No rust at all. There are some paint blemishes caused by sap from the barn beams where it was stored. Mostly on the roof but there are some on the door and rear bumper/hatch. I left the body alone so the original condition could be observed. You can repaint if you like or drive as is. I have put over 3000 miles on the car since mechanical restoration. It drives great. Everything works except the A/C which I did not trouble shoot but would expect needs a recharge at a minimum. Suspension has original adjustable shocks/struts. 

List of reconditioned parts:

Fluids: engine oil change, manual transmission fluid, rear differential fluid, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, power steering fluid changed. All top quality fluids used, synthetic where applicable. 

Rubber parts: all vacuum hoses replaced with silicone hoses, upper and lower radiator hoses, rubber gas lines, misc. coolant hoses.

Gaskets: Upper manifold gaskets, intake plenum gaskets, thermostat and gasket, numerous others. 

Rubber shifter bushings, spark plugs, spark plug wires, air cleaner, oil injector rebuilt, new brake master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder bleed and fill, airbox plenum rebuilt, fuel injectors rebuilt and flow tested, fuel pump and both fuel filters replaced, the list is endless!

4 Goodyear tires with 80% tread installed. Brakes and rotors are original and barely worn!

All new wipers front and rear, new battery and horn relay. 

Engine was boroscoped and apex seals are as new. Cylinder bores are like new and clean. Car runs and starts great. Even in cold weather. Drives like new. 

I drove the car up until October last year and it was stored in a heated garage until now. Too many toys so something must go. Hard to find another in this great of shape. 

I've probably forgotten a few dozen things. Email with questions. Car can be driven anywhere. 

No trades, cash only, please only serious inquires. Thanks for looking. Winter storage for a small fee is available if you need it. Same year running parts car also available for additional fee. 

Bid with confidence. My feedback is excellent. Deposit is refundable if I misrepresented the car.

    Mazda reports strong Skyactiv sales, plans to boost output 25%

    Tue, 27 Aug 2013

    Mazda is set to expand production of its Skyactiv engines after critical and commercial acclaim for the fuel-sipping powerplants. The Japanese manufacturer has a number of plans in the works to bump up production, with the first being a 25-percent increase in output from its Hiroshima, Japan engine facility.
    Besides adding a new line, Mazda will modify the line that built MZR engines, a family of mills that includes the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Mazdaspeed3 and the 2.0-liter found in the MX-5 Miata. The bump in production is just part of Mazda's goal of selling 1.7 million vehicles globally by 2016, with 80 percent of those vehicles expected to wear a Skyactiv badge.
    Mazda also builds Skyactiv engines at a joint-venture facility with Ford, in Changan, China, while a Mexican facility will go online by March of 2014. Skyactiv engines currently power the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.

    Did Mazda designer Derek Jenkins leave to head up a 'Stealth Project?'

    Sat, Jul 25 2015

    Not long after Derek Jenkins officially gave the 2016 MX-5 Miata to the buying world, he's left the Mazda building. Jalopnik reported that the head of design for Mazda North America changed the current job description on his LinkedIn profile to "Stealth Project." Mazda backed up the discovery with this reply to Jalop's inquiry: Derek left Mazda last Friday. He left on great terms in order to work on a new endeavor. We wish him the best of luck. He will be missed, but we are sure that he will do great things in the next chapter of his career. That "last Friday" would be July 17. Emphasizing the "stealth" bit in his new position, as far as we can tell, Jenkins still hasn't publicly answered any question about what he's doing. Every automaker has secrets, but traditional automakers usually make a hubbub about hiring big-name designers, especially one with Jenkins' resume. For his new employer to go all Ghost Recon with all information, well that's the kind of mystery this summer needs. The obvious culprit would be a certain fruit-named company in a certain Cupertino, CA office park. If that ends up being the case, Jenkins would be the second chief designer at Mazda NA to go electric: he replaced Franz von Holzhausen in the position after von Holzhausen went to Tesla. Various other Apple Project Titan hires have made the news, though. For all we know, Jenkins' project might not be automotive. So let's just go ahead and cue the speculation. We're looking forward to whatever he's got coming, and to whoever gets nominated to keep the full head of Zoom-Zoom going at Mazda NA.

    Miata driver pulls off hilariously diabolical move in fender-to-fender racing

    Wed, 27 Aug 2014

    Racing is all about finding the little advantages over competitors that allow you to get ahead. Sometimes those are legitimate means - like being able to take advantage of a better line through a corner - and other times drivers get a little more creative for a leg up over opponents. Sometimes things might even go a little too far. Case in point: just watch the opening of this Mazda MX-5 Cup race from Silverstone in the UK.
    According to the YouTube description, we're riding with James Rogers in this video, and he appears to be pretty talented behind the wheel. Rogers has a great start from fifth that has him in third within just a few corners. He starts stalking the top two drivers, who are already having a fantastic race themselves, but then we see that the person in second is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to win. Just watch the video, and you'll see what we mean. Bravo (?) to that racer for some very quick, albeit fiendish, thinking.
