It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing 2 Mercedes, 2 Olds 442's, a Jaguar XK8 Coupe, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any auction early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.
I purchased this car from it's original owner. It has always been used as an occasional driver, and I was told it had never spent a night outside or been driven in the rain. While I can't prove this, the depth of the original paint, bright chrome, clear lenses, supple rubber gaskets, still clean as new wheels, beautiful undercarriage, and flawless convertible top certainly make a strong case to back the statement. You have to drive it to truly understand how tight everything on the car feels. I have kept it garaged with the original owner's custom cover, and on a Battery Plus trickle charger since I bought it. The cover will go with the sale. I have the owner's manual, original window sticker, and the top boot that has never been taken out of it's packaging.
The body is almost perfect. There is one large scratch on the passenger door (noted in a picture), and several minor scratches around the car that aren't visible except under close observation. The paint is a very shiny, deep gloss black. All chrome is excellent. The BBS wheels are bright and without curb rash, and have premium Michelin tires with less than 1000 miles. The trunk looks unused. Under the hood is extremely clean. The convertible top shows no wear or lose of color. The leather interior is still supple and fade free. I believe the car has always been driven with the top up, and the interior has remained new in appearance. The driver side outside seat bolster shows a little wear, otherwise I would call the interior perfect. All glass is scratch free, including the convertible rear window. That's how nice she is.
1988 was the first year for the RX7 convertible, and it was a very limited production car. This one was delivered loaded. I have the original window sticker showing a $24,285 price. Options include air conditioning, power windows, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, cruise control, cassette player (remember those?), compact disc player with 6 speakers that included speakers in the headrests, leather seats and door trim, glass rear window with defroster, center console with armrest, BBS wheels, halogen headlamps. and illuminated glove box and ignition. For the year, this was about as good as it got.
Everything works perfectly on this beauty. The power top has rarely been used, and performs flawlessly. The shifter and clutch have no slack. The power windows are smooth. I have just had the A/C system serviced, and she blows cold on the hottest day. All fluids have been serviced since my ownership, and the oil changed again less than 100 miles ago. She can be driven anywhere without worries. While I would prefer to see it go to an appreciative collector, it would make a perfect first car for somebody's kid. I hate to see her go, but it's time. Whoever buys this lady will be more than happy with their purchase. Is it you?

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Mazdaspeed2 supermini hot hatch under consideration
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Though the Ford Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 Abarth (and arguably the Mini Cooper S) may stand pretty much alone in the North American market, in overseas markets, supermini hot hatches are a big deal. Unfortunately, challengers like the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo never make it to our showrooms, but word has it that there's soon to be a new entry on the market.
That would be the Mazdaspeed2, which would be badged in certain markets as the Mazda2 MPS. Speaking with Australian site CarAdvice.com.au at the launch of the Mazda2 on which it would be based, the Japanese automaker's global sales chief and the hatchback's deputy product manager hinted that such a product is definitely being discussed, even if it hasn't yet been approved.
This wouldn't be the first time such a notion were entertained, as Mazda has shown numerous performance concepts based on the previous Mazda2/Demio over the years, but none have come to fruition.
Mazda doubles down with a pair of Threes
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Looking to appeal to the compact tuner crowd, Mazda brought two different flavors of its 2014 Mazda3 to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week. The Club Sport 3 Concept hatchback (above) has more of a racing vibe to it, while the Vector 3 Concept sedan (right) looks to inject a little extra fashion into the all-new Mazda3.
Hotting up the 3, Mazda stuck with the stock 2.5-liter engine on the Club Sport 3 Concept but added a limited-slip differential and six-speed manual gearbox, the latter of which was lifted from the CX-5 crossover. Other upgrades include coil-over shocks, a performance exhaust, Brembo brakes and an aero body kit - the latter of which will be offered to buyers at a later date.
While the Vector 3 Concept does get some performance bits like two-piece Brembo brake rotors and grippier tires, the focus on this sedan is all about styling. Starting with a custom paint job and ghost stripes, the whole look is tied together with 19-inch, V-spoke Rays wheels.
