1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible 5-Speed with 17,500 original miles Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original triple black manual transmission 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible with 17,500 original miles. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small collection of sports cars and I have exceeded my storage with a recent acquisition ('93 RX-7 with 11k miles) thus need to sell a car.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Georgia. It was previously in Virginia with the original owner since new. It has always been stored in a garage under a car cover and with a battery tender. The car has a clean car fax which verifies both the mileage and accident free history. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Warranty book, Mazda Sales Brochure, Original Window Sticker, the original Purchase order, the like new convertible boot cover, and two keys.
Vehicle Condition: The car has zero rust and has always been a "sunny day" driver. I have driven the car to Las Vegas twice in the last six months and the car performed perfectly.
The body of the car is in great condition with no damage or signs or repair. The original paint is in very good condition and only has a few small rock chips on the hood. There are two places where touch up paint was used to repair very shallow scratches, one on each side of the car and are not visible in the pictures, but are in person. That said, the original paint shines bright.
The 13B rotary engine is more than sufficient to propel the car and with the 5-speed manual transmission you can get the most out of the high revving rotary engine. The engine has had required no work other than full synthetic oil & filter changes. Same goes for the transmission with no non-maintenance repairs. Both the engine and transmission are without issue and operate as the mileage would indicate.
All vehicle electronics are fully operational including the A/C which works great and does NOT need a charge, as well as the factory radio/CD player including the headrest speakers. I did replace the door speakers last fall, but everything else is stock and works great. The power top and latching mechanisms work perfectly and the top easily converts to a targa should you desire a less than full convertible experience. All glass is fee of cracks. The only item not working correctly is the remote truck release which works infrequently.
The "off black" original interior is in excellent condition with very little wear to the driver's side bolster. All gauges work accurately as do the dash lights, clock, and even the annoying "shift up" light.
The RX-7 sports Michelin MXV4 All season tires with about 2,500 miles on them. They sit on the OEM BBS rims that in my opinion fit the car's design perfectly. The wheels have no damage and look great.
Maintenance: Due to the low mileage and indoor storage, very little maintenance has been needed for this RX-7. I had the car inspected prior to my purchase and only the battery was in need of servicing, everything else checked out fine. I have receipts for the tires as well as the most recent oil changes, but otherwise these is not much to tell.
Overall this is an excellent condition original FC convertible that is a lot of fun to drive and is ready to be driven anywhere. The history is known and documented with original paperwork and a clean/clear Box A (original mileage) AZ title. The car is located in Chandler Arizona which is a suburb of Phoenix.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my RX-7 and feel free to contact me with any questions. |

Mazda hits Vegas with a pair of Sixes
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Despite the fact that the annual SEMA show is more of an exercise in what "could be" than what "will be," it gives automakers the chance to stretch the legs of some of its most important models. Take the 2014 Mazda6, for example - it's hardly new, having gone on sale early this year - but this year's SEMA expo marks the first time Mazda has been able to show off the customization possibilities for its sleek midsize sedan. To that end, the Japanese automaker has arrived in Las Vegas with two very different takes on its sexy Six.
First up is the Mazda6 Club Sport you see above, wearing a "motorsports-inspired" gray, black and red accent-color scheme that, as Mazda says, is "represented in not-so-subtle angular lines reminiscent of a car speeding past your line of sight." The whole car is done up in a base color of Composite Grey, and uses a Brilliant Black roof to match the similarly colored front, side and rear diffusers, as well as the rear spoiler. Mazda has fitted the Club Sport with Rays 57 Motorsport G07FXX 20-inch wheels, wrapped in Yokohama 245/35R20 tires. Powering the CS is Mazda's 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D diesel four-cylinder engine (that we'll get in the standard Six early next year), and other changes include an H&R spring kit, larger Brembo brakes and a Racing Beat exhaust.
And then there's the Ceramic 6 Concept, pictured right. The name comes from the car's Ceramic White paint, though we don't really get the Taupe Silver accent stripes. Mazda says they're meant to mimic "the linear frequency patterns found on the likes of couture dresses and flowing fabrics," but it just looks a bit overwrought to us. The Mazda6 already has so many clean lines, why add more?
Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept
Wed, 07 Aug 2013There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8. Click through for a press release from Clemson University.
44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above
Mon, 16 Jun 2014We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
