1982 Custom Mazda Rx7, 80's Show Car on 2040-cars
Neshanic Station, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1982 Mazda RX7 GSL. After 31 years (yes, I’m the original owner ) of taking up space in my garage and hearing my wife complain, it’s time to find the RX7 a new home… I purchased the car new in 1982, used it sparingly for about three years then decided I wanted to create a show car. After about a years’ time in putting it together, followed by sometime on the local circuit, the car has remained under wraps in my garage. The RX7 has been a garage queen all its life… It’s never seen snow and as of last 5 – 10 years only taken out of the garage every other week to keep the fluids flowing. With a little TLC this vehicle could get back to show quality, turned into a weekend warrior or full blown track car. I’ll highlight some of things that were done to the car: · Purchased 5-1982 and has 15,416 mile on the car. Yes, that’s original miles on the car and the replace motor has just over 14,000 on it. The speedometer was sent out to Rotary Engineering for 130 MPH recalibration. · Car is in excellent condition for being 31 years old. No rust on · Motor- “Rotary Engineering’s Turbo Alternative” 13B 225HP Twin 36 DCD Carbs · High performance clutch and Flywheel · Body- Kent Racing Wide Body kit from Creative car products- Installed by Autotrix in NY · Rims- Epsilon 15/10’s and 15/8’s · Tires- 225-50-15F Dunlop’s Qualifiers (replaced 6 years ago) 265-50-15R BF Goodrich Comp TA’s · Custom Stereo System with built in Escort radar detector. Yes, it and 80’s car… Back then it was the best of the best. · Koni race strut and sway bars · Lamb’s wool seat covers installed when the car was new. What the car needs… · The combination switch will need to be replaced. No High beams. · Rear tires are 28 years old and in need of replacing. · Spider crack in paint on rear whale tail. See picture. · Interior dome light lens needs replacing · Needs a tune up and jets cleaned · Rear speakers may need replacing · My son’s bike fell over and hit the hood of the car. The small dent was repaired by a local body shop but it might need to be touched up to get back to show quality. The average eye won’t notice it. · AC does work, but I took the belt off of the compressor years ago to take advantage of power gains with the motor. · Car is in excellent condition for a vehicle 31 years old… The car is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. I have done my best to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle and will address any potential buyer’s requests prior to the close of this auction. I will require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of winning the auction. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to arrange for pick-up/delivery of the vehicle. Inspections can be performed prior to the auction close. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to selling the vehicle locally. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept
Wed, 07 Aug 2013There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.

Mazda announces live-streaming vehicle intro on Xbox
Wed, 19 Jun 2013In April, Mazda introduced a marketing campaign titled "Game Changers" to showcase how certain people have made significant impacts in their respective sports, and now it's the Japanese automaker that is changing the game by creating an innovative way to launch a new product. Mazda is teaming up with Xbox to offer a first-of-its-kind live-streaming global debut of a new product. Mazda didn't say which model will be debuted, but our guess is that it will be the next-generation Mazda3.
The actual reveal will take place at 9 pm on June 26 during a live concert from the band Metric in New York City, but there will be other live events preceding the concert in Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and London. Mazda will be promoting the event on social media using the hashtag #GameChanger, and there is also a contest on Xbox where one winner will receive $2,500 to attend a music event of their choice. Scroll down for the full details of the contest and vehicle debut event.
We go Unplugged to celebrate Mazda Miata Month
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Chances are good that you, loyal Autoblog reader, have long since chosen to follow us on Twitter and 'like' us on Facebook. (If you haven't, feel free to take a second and do so right now.) Anyway, if you're one of our social media posse, you might have already heard that we're smack dab in the middle of Miata Month. We've gotten Mazda to loan us a couple of MX-5 Miatas, allowing us to say a protracted, tear-filled goodbye to the current generation (NC) of the beloved roadster, just before it exits stage right and ushers in the next generation.
You'll see a few more Miata Month items here on Autoblog after we've said our final farewell, but we absolutely wanted to make sure we created some great video evidence of our month, as well. Right down below, then, in its unfiltered-audio splendor, is the Autoblog Unplugged version of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT. Your author had a pretty great time wringing out the roadster for the creation of our short vid, and we really hope you dig listening along.
