1988 Mazda Rx 7 Covertible Arizona Car on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:60000
Location:

Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States

Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States

 RUST FREE! RUST FREE! RUST FREE!

Summer weather is upon us and what a wonderful way to enjoy this time of year cruising back roads or a drive to the beach or lake in this wonderful drop top sports car.
The car has been in the Southwestern desert since it was new so rest assured it is Rust Free and accident free.

The little Mazda has the wonderfully reliable and very fast 13 B fuel injected rotary motor. These motors have literally 5 internal moving parts. For those unfamiliar with the Rotary engine, there is a wonderful series of videos on You Tube produced by a German engineer/ engine builder who specializes in Performance Mazda rotary rebuilds, I would suggest checking them out.

 The engine was rebuild by Mazda Trix and has approximately 60,000 on it. The transmission clutch assembly was replaced at the same time. The motor is mainly stock except for an upgrade dual exhaust, upgraded Mass air flow meter and a K& N cold air intake kit.
The car runs and drive excellent and has never presented me with any problems in all the years that I have owned it. The car is smooth and pulls like a freight train. The trans shifts so smooth it is amazing. I would not hesitate to drive the car cross country at a moments notice.

The little sports car is fully optioned from the factory and everything works including the Cold A/C and power top.

Upgrades:
Lowered springs front and rear
Adjustable gas shocks front and rear
Aftermarket stereo system
Corbeau bucket seats with provision for harness belts ( I sent the factory seats out to a shop to be reupholstered in custom colors, but
the shop owner went out of business and took my seats with him )
Aftermarket front air dam (i do have a stock factory nose in white that I will include if you would like it)
Removed factory emblems, correctly welded the holes shot
Car was resprayed in factory white using all PPG Products. The finish is nicer than most show cars.

This is just a very nice sports car that will provide its' new owner many years of trouble free driving and fun. It is very difficult to find used vehicles as nice as this. Oh, did I mention that car is RUST FREE.

My reserve is less than what this high quality paint job cost me.

Shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I will gladly assist in any manner that I can. So long as the car is paid in full once the auction ends I will gladly store the car for free until your shipper arrives. The car will remain at my commercial shop which makes pick up and loading a breeze for an 18 wheeler.

A non refundable deposit of $750.00 is due immediately upon auctions end.

Please fell free to contact me at 928-727-0287 if you have any questions.  Thanks

2014 Mazda3 breaks cover early, in Euro-spec at least

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

We're set to get a closer look at the US-spec 2014 Mazda3 later today, but AutoExpress has the first peek at the machine's European cousin (after initial leaks reportedly came from a Czech outlet). The photos show a compact that's taken plenty of design inspiration from its older sister, the Mazda6. That's excellent news, as the larger car's dynamic front fascia, accentuated fender arches and long nose translate well to the Mazda3. Inside, there are are new and improved material choices, and the longer wheelbase means occupants get to enjoy more room than before. There's also a larger trunk with 12.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
Buyers in the EU can get their hands on a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine with 99 horsepower, though the old 2.0-liter four-cylinder will still be available in either 118 hp or 163 hp configuration. A 2.2-liter diesel tops out the engine choices.
The 2014 Mazda3 is lighter than its predecessor and boasts disk brakes and a multi-link rear suspension on every trim. That means this thing should be fun to shuffle around. Stay tuned for details on the US-spec variant later today, including a lot more images of the good-looking hatch.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Goodbye Zoom-Zoom, Driving Matters is Mazda's new slogan [w/video]

Thu, May 21 2015

Timed with the launch of the 2016 MX-5 Miata, Mazda is now changing gears with its advertising strategy in the US by launching a whole new slogan. The Japanese brand's latest marketing motto takes a much more direct approach than Zoom-Zoom by simply saying Driving Matters. The two-word phrase is meant to make customers believe that a good time behind the wheel can improve their lives. Driving Matters is also supposed to say something about how Mazda engineers vehicles. "Whether it's for safety purposes or for maintaining our 'fun to drive' nature, it all comes down to the fact that driving matters to our customers and it matters to us." Russell Wager, vice president of marketing at Mazda North American Operations, said in the announcement of the new campaign. However, Zoom-Zoom isn't entirely dead, and the words still appear in small print in some of these spots. According to Wager in an interview with Automotive News, the old slogan isn't necessarily understandable to some focus groups. "I'll ask them to explain to me what 'Zoom Zoom' means, and I'll get 6 or 7 different answers. That's what Driving Matters is supposed to address. It's supposed to solidify what 'Zoom Zoom' means to people," he said. So far, the company has released several examples of the campaign to highlight the Miata and Mazda6. At the same time, Mazda is launching a new commercial (embedded below) called A Driver's Life that showcases many of its models but puts a big emphasis on the MX-5.

Mazda Launches All-New Advertising Campaign, "Driving Matters" - New Campaign Communicates How the Joy of Driving Can Enhance Your Life - IRVINE, Calif. (May 21, 2015) –The Oxford Dictionary defines "driving" as, "operating and controlling the direction and speed of a motor vehicle." Mazda believes that driving is more than a definition. Driving is an experience that can enhance your life. To better illustrate how every Mazda vehicle embodies why "Driving Matters," today Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is rolling out a new advertising campaign. Driving Matters is an evolution of the Game Changers campaign. With Game Changers, Mazda succeeded in increasing consumer awareness of the functional attributes of our vehicles. Driving Matters will extend the message by creating an emotional connection to the brand.
