Location:
Middletown, Ohio, United States
1984 Mazda "5.0L V8" RX-7 GSL. I recently took this vehicle in on a trade. I have fell in love with this little car, but I need to sell it. The man that I got it from owned it for almost 19 years. It was his first car. He went through a couple original rotary engines that seems like always have problems...and decided to make this classic RX-7 the "ULTIMATE" little sports car...he did ALOT of research and properly did the V8 conversion a few years ago.
I do not recommend this car for a younger driver...It is great for cruising around, but it is VERY POWERFUL.
It has been ran at the dragstrip a few times just to see what it would do...It ran mid 12 second 1/4 mile times on the motor alone. It ran a 11.83 at 120mph on its shot of nitrous and the drag radials.
I will describe in detail everything that I know about this car below. I have provided 150+ detailed pictures along with video clips. I have the clean and clear title in hand and ready for a new owner. I believe the reserve price is LOW, so put your bid in and bid to buy!! Or of course make a SERIOUS offer. Hopefully with the hours I have invested in taking pictures and making this auction I have answered all questions, but if not, feel free to call: 513-464-TEN 20. Please read everything and view all of the pics/videos prior to calling.
BODY & WHEELS
Original body is very straight and solid. Both doors and hatch glass open and close like new. The pop up roof works perfect. All of the glass is crack free. The hood could use a little bit of scuffing/bodywork prior to paint, however I think it looks cool black. The undercarriage is VERY SOLID, but does have original scabby undercoating and some surface rust forming(See pics). Cosmetically, it is an absolutely beautiful and stunning 1984 Mazda RX-7. Here is some more details:
- Painted Ford Competition Yellow
- Fiberglass Hood w/ Hood Pins
- Fiberglass front air dam
- PIAA headlights that look very cool after dark and work great too
- Foglights in air dam that also work good
- RS Aluminum Alloy 16x7 4x100mm wheels
- Front Tires -- Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 205/45/16
- Rear Tires -- Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 225/50/16
- Rear Axles Redrilled for 4x100mm bolt pattern
- Front aluminum wheel Adapters for 4x100mm bolt pattern
- Extra set of rear Mickey Thompson Drag Radials on 15x7 aluminum rims(Not pictured, but will have pics of them tomorrow)
ENGINE & DRIVETRANE
This is where this classic RX-7 gets interesting:
- Granny's Speed Shop V8 Conversion Kit
- '92 Ford 5.0L HO short block
- Edelbrock Aluminum Performer RPM Cylinder Heads
- Ford Racing 1.6 roller rockers
- Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake Manifold

The engine sounds very healthy with a deep V8 lope at idle. The transmission shifts into every single gear perfect and the clutch feels tight. The brakes stop this car hard and straight. All of the V8 sound exits the rear. The suspension is surprisingly very comfortable and is a smooth ride when hitting bumps. This car runs and drives just as nice as it looks!!! It starts right up everytime and is reliable! It cruises down the road amazingly and is an absolute blast to drive!! There is no noticable leaks, and this car does not mark its spot when parked. All of the fluids look good and clean too. Its alot of fun to cruise around and has ALOT of power. It sounds amazing....This V8 RX-7 runs, shifts, drives, and stops great. I would personally trust driving it anywhere.
INTERIOR
The interior appears to be original and in exceptional condition for being 30 years old. Everything looks nice with exception of the carpet. The original carpet could use a good shampoo cleaning. The only original gauges that appear to work is the fuel and temp gauge. It even appears to have its original spare wheel/tire still intact too... I have provided A LOT of detailed pictures below. Keep scrolling through all of the pictures and please view them all. I know there is an overwhelming amount of them, but I want to showcase how cool this class 84' "V8" RX-7 is....

Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata arrives later this year, and it's officially in production. Mazda announced this week that the roadster began rolling off the assembly line at its Ujina factory in Hiroshima, Japan.
Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show. Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US. In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.
By now, you've likely read what we think of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata's new looks both inside and out, and you've probably poured over the available photos and started to make up your own mind about the roadster's radically more aggressive new appearance. More than likely, however, you haven't heard much from Mazda itself about its new design, and we're here to remedy that. Join Autoblog as we go over the new Miata from tip to tail with Derek Jenkins, Mazda North America's director of design. Jenkins, a veteran of both Audi and Volkswagen design studios, has been with the Japanese automaker for nearly four years, and he's kept a close eye in the ND Miata program along with his team in Irvine, CA. Check out our video to see Jenkins explain his team's exterior and cabin handiwork and to learn a little more about why the new model graduates from the Miata's historically cute and friendly aesthetic to something altogether more assertive.
