1985 Mazda Rx-7 Gs Coupe 2-door 1.1l on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:100702 Color: shift boot torn
Location:

Vista, California, United States

Vista, California, United States

This 1985 Mazda RX7 GS is a very well preserved car, mechanically perfect and an excellent driver. I am owner number 3 and the car fax supports the mileage of 100,7XX.

The car came to me from a collector car dealer in Boise Idaho and was in well preserved shape. A new radio is the only modifications from stock I’ve noticed and the original stereo, equalizer and cassette come with the car. Here is the list of work beyond oil and filters performed during my ownership:

  • ·      Oil pressure sensor weeping removed and replaced
  • ·      Speedometer cable gaskets at transmission weeping, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Differential drain / fill plug gaskets weeping, removed, replaced refilled with fresh fluid.
  • ·      Transmission exterior shift boot torn, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Tires rotated, balanced, new valve stems installed and raised white letters turned inside.
  • ·      Small dent on top of drivers side front fender repaired by paint free dent removal.
  • ·      Door seals leaking, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Hood support retainer clip missing, replaced.
  • ·      Rear hatch supports weak, replaced.
  • ·      Front wheel bearings loose, preloads reset.
  • ·      Front Shocks worn, replaced with KYB units.
  • ·      Interior shift boot and plastic surround cracked, removed and replaced with new old stock.
  • ·      Clutch chattering when hot, replaced clutch including new friction disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing and release bearing. Flywheel resurfaced at this time, transmission drained and refilled with new gear oil.
  • ·      Air conditioning leaking freon, main hoses removed and replaced. Fresh charge of R12 refrigerant. Blows 38F at the center vent in 75F ambient temperature.
  • ·      Oil injection system tested and shown to be at factory specifications.

There are receipts to document all of this. Every system on the car works, as it should. Currently it wears Idaho plates but on 3/6/14 the car easily passed a California smog inspection, which is good for change of ownership within 60 days.

I find nothing that would make me doubt this is original paint and see no evidence of rust. Ocean Blue Metallic, code L-6, which appears to be a fairly rare one-year only color. There are small chips in the clear coat located on the plastic rear bumpers edge, see pictures.

The grey cloth interior looks incredible, no rips tears or stains. The dash is 100% crack free and all the glass has the original Mazda stamps. Headliner is in great shape with no discoloration or sagging.

I have tried to describe this car as honestly as I can. This RX has been enjoyed and that means the occasional chip and some wear marks but short of a frame off restoration or a museum piece I doubt you can find a cleaner example.

Feel free to contact me, Bill 760-809-9746, with any questions or to view the car. Pre--purchase inspections will be facilitated in the North San Diego County area at your expense only. 

Finally the legal stuff:

·      The car is sold “As is” with no implied or expressed warranty.

·      Seller will help to facilitate shipping but only at buyer’s sole expense.

·      $500.00 due from winning bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction’s end.

·      Balance only via certified check, cash in person or wire transfer within 7 days of auction ending. PayPal will not be accepted for the balance unless seller agrees in advance and buyer pays all associated fees.

Mazda says 83 percent of new cars bear Skyactiv moniker

Fri, Mar 7 2014

Mazda's US sales are down a little bit but the company's fuel economy is almost assuredly up. That's because its fuel-saving Skyactiv drivetrain technology is essentially taking over US vehicles sales. To the tune of about five out of every six vehicles sold, at least. While the Japanese automaker's US sales in February fell 2.4 percent from a year earlier, Skyactiv accounted for 83 percent of its sales last month. Most notably, Mazda6 sales jumped 46 percent from a year earlier, while Mazda CX-5 sales were up 72 percent. The company also celebrated the opening of its factory in Salamanca, Mexico, where it will make models such as the Mazda2 and Mazda3. The company is not resting on its fuel-economy laurels either, apparently. In January, it was reported the company is hard at work on its next-generation Skyactiv technology, which will boost fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent by using diesel-like high compression. As it is, Mazda had the highest fleetwide fuel economy of any major automaker in the US for the 2013 model year with a 27.5 mile per gallon average, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Honda came in second with 27 mpg. Check out Mazda's press release below. MAZDA SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY SETS RECORDS IN FEBRUARY - Mazda Celebrates Grand Opening of All-New Production Facility in Salamanca, Mexico - IRVINE, Calif., March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported February U.S. sales of 24,431 vehicles, representing a decrease of 2.4 percent versus last year. Year-to-date sales through February are down 6.7 percent versus last year, with 43,155 vehicles sold. Key February sales notes: Mazda's SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY accounted for 83.2 percent of all vehicle sales during the month of February. This is the largest percentage of Mazdas equipped with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY sold in one month, and second-best month of total volume ever with 20,245 vehicles sold. Mazda6 experienced its second-best February since 2008 with 3,945 vehicles sold, representing an increase of 46.0 percent, year-over-year (YOY). February 2014 was CX-5's best month ever with 9,353 vehicles sold, good for an increase of 71.6 percent, YOY. February was one of the most historic months for Mazda as it celebrated the grand opening of its all-new engine and vehicle assembly plant in Salamanca, Mexico.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata won't get power folding hardtop

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Following the reveal of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, more and more details (and rumors - oh, the rumors) are coming out regarding exactly what's in store when the car finally goes on sale. Our own Chris Paukert had plenty to say about the exterior and interior, and we've now seen the first photo of the engine. But a new report from Automobile sheds even more light on the 2016 Miata - specifically, that the power folding hardtop model won't be available, at least initially.
Automobile reports that the 2016 MX-5 will only be offered with a cloth top, and an insider confirmed that the mechanism is light and accessible enough that it can be raised and lowered with one hand from inside the car. Mazda officials would not comment on the availability of a hardtop in the coming years.
That said, a hardtop Miata isn't out of the question. There will likely be some sort of fixed roof available - even as a one-piece, lift-off accessory - if only for club racing. Also, remember that the current NC Miata's hardtop is the only one on the market that doesn't take up any additional trunk space, so it's an attractive proposition for buyers. Currently, the power hardtop is only offered on the Club and Grand Touring MX-5 Miata trims.

Mazda begins building Mazda3 in Mexico for US

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

With fluctuations in international currencies and rising shipping costs to take into account, foreign automakers can't get away with building cars overseas and selling them in North America as easily as they used to. Particularly with inexpensive mainstream models. And given the benefits of cheaper labor and free trade under NAFTA, many have opted to assemble their cars for the North American market in Mexico. That's why the likes of Toyota, Mercedes and BMW have all opened plants in Mexico. And now Mazda has followed suit.
Ground was initially broken for Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operations at Salamanca in the state of Gunajuato back in 2011, but production has just now gotten under way. The first vehicle to roll off the line? A Mazda3 sedan destined for the United States. Soon, the plant will begin production of the next Mazda2 as well, selling it alongside its larger counterpart across the Americas and in Europe as production expands to 230,000 units annually. For more information, see the official press release below.
