Overview The Mazda RX7 was only sold in the US from 1993-1995. The production number was only 13,879 in total, with only 3403 in 1994. Of those 3403 in 1994 only 118 of them came in the Silver Stone Metallic with the Touring Package and a manual transmission. And of those 118 only 16 came with the red interior. 1994 was the last year for the Touring Package option, also the last year the red leather was offered as an option, and the first year the Silver Stone Metallic was available. They softened the suspension in 1994 for the Base and Touring models. Added in 1994 also was a passenger side airbag, map pockets, and one touch driver’s side window switch. To say the car here for sale is rare would be an understatement. Not only would you be hard pressed to find another with the same options and color scheme, you won’t find one in this condition and with this low of miles. This car has been very well cared for its entire life. It has been in single ownership since new. It was garage kept, driven sparingly every year, and never in anything other than sunshine. Maintenance was regularly performed by Mazda technicians and all the recalls were performed by Mazda as well.

No fading or discolorations, not one sign of any rust. The front chin spoiler has not been scraped on any low driveways. Every wheel is in like new condition and wrapped in like new P225/50R16 Goodyear Eagle tires. There is a dealer installed wind deflector on the glass moonroof, with the white Mazda stamp still visible. All gaps are good, doors shut properly, and hood/trunk fit is good as well. It has the optional rear window wiper and washer. There is also a period cell phone antenna on the rear window.
Interior The interior in this RX7 is absolutely stunning. As it should be with only a mere 12,000 miles on the car. It has never been repaired or replaced, it is all the original leather and trim. The red leather seats are in amazing condition. They were very well cared for. There is not one sign of discoloration or cracks. The leather is very soft and clean.

Mechanicals The twin turbo 2 cylinder Rotary liter engine runs as strong as the day it was built.

Electric fans are in proper working condition, coolant is clean, and there is zero smoke or smells. It has only had premium fuel in its tank. It only has 12,000 original miles on it. All the routine services done to the motor were performed by Mazda, according to the original owner. The turbos are in excellent working condition. The car has zero leaks. All the recalls were performed. All the hoses look to be in great condition. The clutch feels amazing. It shifts very smoothly, including into 5th gear. No rattles, clunks, or shakes.

The original window sticker and original spare key. It comes with extra oil filters and air filters from Mazda and the original Bose Sound System test CD. Also, the moonroof interior cover.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2
Mon, Jun 5 2023Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
Mazda6 diesel engine delayed over low performance, still coming
Mon, Dec 1 2014Oh Mazda... we had many hopes for the promised diesel four-cylinder in the Mazda6, but those have remained largely unfulfilled, as the oil-burning powerplant has failed to appear on dealer lots following its 2012 LA Auto Show announcement. Despite engineering issues that forced the company to announce that the program was delayed back in September 2013, Mazda remains adamant that the 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D is still coming to our shores. "We're still very much committed to diesel," Mazda's North American CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, told Automotive News. "We are still working on getting the performance aspects up to where we want them, and we do have a plan – an engineering road map – to get it done." According to AN, Mazda's initial plan with the 2.2-liter diesel was to build an engine so clean it could get by without an aftertreatment system, which generally accounts for the price premium of diesel engines versus their gas counterparts. The new system has come with performance issues, though, necessitating the delays. "If [we were] a commodity brand and didn't care about that, it would be on the market right now," O'Sullivan told AN. "But I know the people were expecting something from us, expecting certain drive characteristics and performance, and I didn't want to disappoint them." While O'Sullivan's defense of the diesel Mazda is admirable, the exec stops short of giving us an indication of when the new engine will finally arrive.
Mazda Skyactiv-D racer first diesel to run at Indy in 60 years
Thu, 25 Jul 2013While it may not be touting the old "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" axiom we all know and love, Mazda recognizes that racing can only improve its cars. And so it's no surprise that the Japanese automaker is testing and refining its Skyactiv-D diesel engine by sending it out on various race tracks around the country - notably being the first diesel ever to compete at Daytona and the first to notch a Grand Am win at Road Atlanta.
Next up? Indy. It has been over 60 years since a diesel-powered machine ran at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Cummins-powered racer that competed in the 1952 Indy 500 with a 6.6-liter inline-six-cylinder oil-burner was a fast and brutal machine that set a new lap record in qualifying leading up to the race. Though that car was withdrawn with turbocharger failure 71 laps in, its diesel powerplant left an indelible impression on the racing community, and that's something Mazda hopes to accomplish once again.
Mazda says that the diesel engine in its race car is pretty darn close to stock - 51 percent stock by parts count, and 63 percent stock by weight - which means the way it performs in competition is at least a somewhat meaningful way to the stock engine's durability in the real world. Check out the image of the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racer posing alongside the 1952 Cummins above (click to enlarge) and feel free to peruse the press release below for the rest of the details.
