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.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Ms. Patricia Soya in Illinois. She kept the car in excellent condition throughout her ownership 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.

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 new. Since new, this RX-7 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. I know of no reason this car couldn't make a long drive anywhere.

The body is straight, solid and clean with no exterior body panel 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 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, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is more sun-faded and dull; the rest of the paint is glossy and in very good shape. The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper. The fuel gauge does not work, however the car will have a full tank of gas at pickup.

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 struggles to meet demand on rising sales

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

For Mazda there's good and not-so-good news on the heels of strong US sales in 2012: demand is high - especially for the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - but supply is low, TheDetroitBureau.com reports. That's partly because all Mazda production happens in Japan, since it ended its alliance with Ford and pulled out of a joint venture with the blue oval building cars in suburban Detroit last year.
In 2012, Mazda sales here jumped 26.4 percent, but 2013 sales through August have just been keeping pace with the overall US auto industry, increasing at a rate of 6.8 percent. Mazda North American Operations director of marketing and communications Jeremy Barnes says that sales have slowed because the company is facing challenges delivering products here.

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata to weigh a ton(ne), literally

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Looking at recent spy shots of the fourth-generation Mazda Miata, it's obvious this sporty little roadster will grow in size compared to the current model, but it's also going on a diet. At the Tokyo Motor Show, Auto Motor und Sport sat down with Mazda executive Kiyoshi Fujiwara, who gave a little more insight into the Miata's redesign.
Fujiwara said that they're aiming for a curb weight of a tonne (metric ton), which is 1,000 kilograms or right around 2,200 pounds, for the next-generation Miata. This would make the roadster at least 300 pounds lighter than the current NC Miata, but still about 200 pounds heavier than the original NA.
There is no indication as to how Mazda will go about removing that much weight from the bigger car, but with as popular as the power retractable hard top (PHRT) model is on the current car, the new Miata may ditch this feature to lose its weight. Improving the power-to-weight ratio appears to be a key goal of the Mazda team, so we also wouldn't be surprised to see a more powerful engine underneath the longer hood.
