For sale: 1987 Mazda RX-7 with a Chevrolet V-8 and five speed transmission. This car is in very good/excellent condition with only 42,744 miles. I purchased it from the original owner and have all of the original paperwork for the car (warranty cards, window sticker, owner manuals - even a Mazda first aid kit). It has never been painted or touched up - the body and paint are original (no bondo). It looks like it came out of a time-capsule...even the door latches look like new (see photos). The interior is also in very good/excellent condition. There are no wear marks on the original seats and the carpets still look like new with no signs of wear. The car has never been smoked in so it still smells like a 42,000 mile car. The undercarriage is as clean as the rest of the car - there are no rust holes and it has never been repaired (see photos).
The Vortec 350 V-8 is a low milage engine that came from a Chevrolet truck (roller-cam version). A V-8 conversion kit, from Granny Speed Shop, was used. The engine was partially disassembled, new gaskets and seals were installed and it was re-painted. A new Weiand aluminum intake was installed as well as a new carburator. A new polished Weiand water-pump, new alternator, new a/c compressor, new harmonic balancer, new oil pump and new timing chain were also installed. A new/complete MSD ignition system (ignition box, coil, distributor and wires), new "turbo model" fuel pump and a new fuel pressure regulator was put on. The cooling system was upgraded with a new aluminum radiator and fan. The car runs in the center of the guage, between hot and cold, at all times. The transmission is a Borg/Warner T-5 from a late model Camaro - it also received new seals, the flywheel was re-surfaced, new Zoom Kevlar clutch, new throwout bearing, new slave cylinder and new master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch. The driveshaft was also replaced with a new/heavier version. The exhaust is new/custom and exits in the stock location. The mufflers are Hooker Aero-chambers.
The brake system was upgraded with a new master cylinder, new brake calipers, new brake pads, new stainless steel lines (replace rubber lines) and new drilled/slotted rotors. The wheels and tires were also upgraded - I have the original aluminum wheels with new tires that will be included in the sale.
The car has a/c that was working when the rotary engine was removed - I have installed a new a/c condensor, a/c dryer and a/c compressor. I also replaced the o-rings so that the car can be converted to R134a. A local shop is currently making the a/c lines for the firewall and a/c dryer - I will include them in the sale also when they are completed.
I will provide my phone number to potential buyers with any questions - just e-mail me your contact information. I will also assist with shipping however any costs will be the buyers responsibility. A deposit is required at the end of the auction. The car currently has an antique registration plate that will be included in the sale to another PA. resident.
Thanks for looking and good luck...

Alfa Romeo takes Spider in-house, Mazda-Fiat roadster partnership not dead
Sat, Dec 20 2014It's officially off. Following a report in March of this year that the marriage of Mazda and Alfa Romeo to produce a MX-5-based Spider was in trouble, the Italians have confirmed that it will take development in-house. "As far as the Spider goes, the final version is of course no longer the two-seater FCA co-developed with Mazda but a derivative of Project Giorgio," Maserati and Alfa Romeo brand boss Harald Wester told Car. For those not in the know, Project Giorgio is Alfa's codename for the rear-drive platform that will underpin the next-generation Spider, not to mention the replacement for the 159 sedan and a few other products. All is not lost for the Japanese-Italian partnership, though. "The Far East import will probably find a new home with Fiat-Abarth," Wester told Car. Yes, you read that correctly, Mazda is still working with FCA, and the result will eventually end up with Abarth's scorpion badge. If anything, we're more excited over this news than the idea of an Alfa MX-5. But we want to know what you think – would you rather Alfa build a new Spider on the Miata's bones, or does an MX-5 Abarth sound like more fun? Have your say in Comments.
2014 Mazda3 Sedan
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Playing Favorites
We're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier and more scenic routes to get to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer.
We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles - namely the CX-5, Mazda6 and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 - from the ground up. Absolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus.
