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 will sell a removable MX-5 Miata hardtop only to racers

    Wed, Mar 22 2017

    Before the advent of the power-folding hardtop NC or the newer MX-5 RF targa, you could buy a fiberglass hardtop to plop on your soft-top Miata. Expensive when new and rather rare, they command top dollar now. And moreover, Spec Miata racers have always sought them for use in that series. Now, what's old is new again, sort of. Mazda Motorsports will sell a removable hardtop for $4,420, but there's a catch. You have to purchase a MX-5 Cup Global race car to order one. A Mazda spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that non-Cup racers won't be able to purchase a new hardtop for their ND – and furthermore, since it's oddly shaped to clear the rollcage, they might not want to. Second-hand, who knows? Even though it's pricey, it'd offer a different experience than you get from the sexy RF. Related Video: Motorsports Mazda Convertible Racing Vehicles Performance mazda mx-5

    2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata shows off perfect 50/50 weight balance

    Thu, May 28 2015

    When I attended the first drive event for the Japanese-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in Spain earlier this year, I was blown away – and not just by the car. I was blown away by the charts and graphs Mazda's engineers brought along, showing how every little facet of the ND Miata was finely tuned for pure driving perfection. It's like rocket science. Only cooler. One of the most important parts of the Miata package is its weight distribution. The 2,332-pound roadster must achieve a perfect 50/50 balance, with a driver inside. That's not easy. But it has to be done. Only the best for the Miata. In this video, Mazda shows off the Miata's balance by putting it on an aluminum balance beam, to see if the car stays perfectly centered. You can probably guess the outcome, but watching it all take place is super cool, especially with commentary by Mazda engineer Dave Coleman and MX-5 program manager Rod McLaughlin. How does the 50/50 balance help the Miata's handling out on the road? You'll have to wait until the embargo on driving impressions for the US-spec car lifts. We'll have the full scoop at 3:01 AM Eastern on Monday, June 1. In the meantime, get a sneak preview of the new Miata in the video below. Autoblog readers got a closer look at the 2016 MX-5 at our Cars & Coneys meet-up, and as you can see, the excitement for this car is definitely real.

    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.
