Granny's Speedshop supplied the kit and I and my brother in law (a professional SoCal auto mechanic) built it at his shop, Brothers Automotive, in Huntington Beach, CA. The engine was purchased as a long block rebuild. Modifications were limited to a California smog legal Edelbrock cam and intake manifold. The 700R4 transmission was professionally inspected before installation. The car is registered and insured in Arizona but has been sitting. It has been driven about 500 miles since engine installation. The tach and speedo are not hooked up. The battery is in a stock well in the trunk at the very back of the car. Work was stopped on this project by a windfall chance to build a Factory Five Cobra and once you've done that, this engine swap pales in comparison. Effort was made to have the swap be Ca smog legal to no avail. In other words, the Chevy computer is from a 1990 Firebird and the engine was not hot rodded to my dream. That's your opportunity. Seats and top were redone about 6 years ago. This 23 year old car has defects, as you can see. The fiberglas hood bump was added to the aluminum hood to accomodate the stock air cleaner that was required for smog. The car now has an after market cleaner and thus clears the standard hood that I do NOT have. As you can see, the top cover and its case are with the car in good shape. You will also get the books.

2014 Mazda6 to start at $20,880*
Wed, 19 Dec 2012We got our very first taste of the impressive 2014 Mazda6 back in October, and had more than a few good things to say about the midsizer. One piece of information that was conspicuous by its absence, however, was a sticker price.
Now, with zero pomp and circumstance (not even a press release as of this writing), Mazda has dropped what looks to be official pricing for the 6 on its consumer website.
$20,880 is the asking price for the base Mazda6 Sport with a manual transmission (plus $795 worth of destination charges, for a total of $21,675). Alaska residents will need to cough up $840 for destination. The loaded-up Mazda6 Grand Touring shown on the site will set you back a total of $30,290 (MSRP of $29,495), but it isn't clear if that's the starting price of the Grand Touring trim. Mazda is taking orders for the new 6 right now, and the cars will be available on January 2, 2013.
Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.
Mazda spiders return, 42k Mazda6 sedans recalled for webby fuel tanks
Sat, 05 Apr 2014It seems that Yellow Sac spiders really, really love Mazda. Three years after Mazda recalled 52,000 Mazda6 sedans over spider webs obstructing the evaporative canister vent lines of 2009 and 2010 Mazda6 models, another recall has been issued for 42,000 more of the models built between 2010 and 2012 and equipped with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
According to the automaker, there have been nine confirmed sightings of spiders in vent lines since the original recall. It seems that covers were applied at the factory to keep the arachnids from entering, but it hasn't quite exterminated the problem. A reflash of the ECU is required that "[changes] the logic behind how the car purges the charcoal canister during normal operation," says Jeremy Barnes, Director, Public Relations & Brand Experience at Mazda North American Operations.
So far, Mazda has not recorded any fires, accidents or injuries due to this tangled mess of webs. Recall notices will be mailed out to owners later this month. Scroll down below for the statement from Mazda, along with the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
