1983 Mazda RX7 GSL. Near perfect deep black paint over rust free/bondo free Florida body. Body has 159k (and may go up slightly as I still drive the car a few times per week); 12a motor has roughly 58k on full Atkins Rotary rebuild. Suspension is all new (Racing Beat springs and urethane bushings) and car drives super. 4-wheel discs; limited slip rear. Power windows, power brakes, sunroof with steel panel and rare glass panel, 5-speed manual trans, cruise (works) and JVC Arsenal am/fm/cd/mp3/bluetooth player. New Racing beat cat back exhaust (cat is deleted) and car is still really quiet. Everything is 100% and car is a pleasure to drive anywhere... for an older RX7, it corners like it's on rails even with the 13" tires. Selling as I need a larger car for more seating - must be sold, so if you're looking for a fully sorted first gen RX7, this is definitely worth looking at!
Motor fully rebuilt aprx 58k miles ago by Atkins - runs 100% with stock Nikki carb
Rat's nest removed due to failed solenoids (car starts/runs perfect and returns 21mpg all day with daily driving - pushes close to 30mpg on the highway)
New K&N drop in air filter
New driveshaft
New Racing Beat springs
New Racing Beat cat back exhaust
New cat delete mid pipe with resonator
New Racing Beat urethane suspension bushings throughout
New dual alternator pulley (air pump deleted)
New rotary aviation adapter for injecting 2 cycle oil from separate oil storage tank into the motor for better lubrication - easily removed/disabled to return to stock
2nd Gen fuse block installed under hood to do away with the problematic fusible links
Cosmetic issues - the original dash was covered with a replacement dashpad cover. It's starting to wrinkle a bit. Carpet in rear cargo area is faded from sun exposure. One area of the paint has odd crazing (which was even in the original paint before the car was stripped and repainted - so slight it's impossible for me to photograph - it's above the gas door and hasn't ever been noticed by anyone but me). Body plastic pieces (@ rear bumper ends) are starting to age warp a little. Car originally had A/C but was removed long before I acquired it.
Car draws incredible attention wherever it goes - ALWAYS drawing complements on the quality of the paint and regarding the overall condition of the car.
All prospective bidders are encouraged to call me with questions or to schedule a viewing of the car. If anyone would be interested in having a local Mazda dealer look at it for condition verification, feel free to call me between 9am and 10pm EST @ 716.250.8439. Additional photos of specific areas available on request. Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping issues.
Once again, this car must be sold, so feel free to make reasonable offers!

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform
Fri, 31 May 2013Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.
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.
Mazda CX-3 details come to light
Sun, 09 Dec 2012Mazda may be working on a new CUV, according to Auto Express. Reportedly called the CX-3, the small crossover will be engineered to take on the likes of the Ford EcoSport and Nissan Juke, but with a focus on fuel efficiency and engaging driving characteristics.
The report names no sources, but says the CX-3 will benefit from a new small-displacement diesel engine. The 1.6-liter oil burner will be joined by a 1.3-liter gasoline engine when the vehicle debuts in 2014. Auto Express reports the model may bow as a front-wheel drive offering only, with no all-wheel-drive option.
And what will it look like? Word has it Mazda will continue to leverage the face we've seen on the current CX-5 (pictured). That means the company's shield grille will make the jump, but with more plastic lower body cladding. Inside, Auto Express says the CX-3 will offer buyers fold-flat rear seating for extra cargo capacity.
