Rare Nice Rust Free Az 1 Owner 1984 Mazda Rx-7 5 Spd Ac Original Paint Loaded on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
1984 Mazda RX-7 GS When you think of 80s Performance Imports what comes to mind ? This car is at the top of the list and in case you havent noticed they are getting much harder to find, esp this nice and this original ! Up for auction a nice clean unmolested First GEN RX7 the car that changed the look for Mazda for people to take notice and say "yeah, I could drive that !!" this is a 1 owner car, was originally bought new outta Santa Cruz CA and owned by an older woman since day 1. Been well kept and maintained its whole life and what Id call a nice unmolested survivor. Soon after it left CA it came to AZ where its was garage kept most of its life. Very little sun damage and zero rust on the body or floors, RX7s like this are getting harder to find these days. The original paint still actually in nice shape over most of the car and chances are it could be buffed out and brought back to look nice with an afternoon detail job. Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and GREAT FEEDBACK. Ive been driving the car around now for the last week almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs great every time and is a blast to drive. Had receipts from original owner showing all the oil changes and repairs it needed since 84. Nice history tracked over its whole life. Car even comes with the original window sticker and misc pamphlets given to the owner when new. DRIVETRAIN: Original 12A Rotory runs great with plenty of power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the way Mazda built it. Whenever something broke or wore out it was repaired and kept on the road. Under the hood looks almost like when it was new. Mild oil leaks under the car but they are small. Shocks do feel a little worn out and soft but the brakes and rest of the car feel better then a car this old. Not sure where its suppose to idle out, but to me it idles a little lower then normal, but mostly when its cold. Plugs, cap and rotor are new. Fires up fine whether its hot or cold. Power of the little rotary motor is just like it should be and transmission feels great. Cruise control not working due to a broken vacuum nipple off the canister under the hood. Runs great, the gas in the tank may be 6m old from not being driven much lately, so I think once whats in there is run out and fresh 91 is put in it, it will only run even better. INTERIOR: Doesnt look like a car that is almost 30 yrs old thanks to being in the garage most of its life. Check out the Pics, which show how nice the car still is. Its always been taken care of and kept clean and shows little wear. The worst spot, the dr side door panel by the window which would be a really easy fix if you wanted to. Sunroof I think may even be a pop out, not sure. Everything works best I can tell inside the car. Even the original factory stereo etc works well and the dash was never cut up or trashed. Glass is all great around, may be one chip in the windshield. AC all connected and worked last summer, but now it is blowing warm not cold. SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you looked hard. But no weird noises , but Im sure the shocks are old, the ride is a little mushy. Tires decent, and should get you by for another yr. The great thing about taking apart a rust free car like this when it comes time to work on it, you have less hassles with broken bolts etc making the future repairs and maintenance that much easier. Brake feel great too. BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings. The 2 worst spots : LF Fender and RR wheel well (see pics) Trunk struts work well, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy car to restore back to original. Honestly, if you buffed the paint out and just drove it you could keep the car still 100% original and in most cases thats way better then just tossing new paint on a car to be pretty.

Jay Leno celebrates Mazda Miata's 25th birthday
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Ask a car enthusiast what the best driver's car on the road is, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata is very likely to come up rather quickly. Unjustly saddled with a reputation as a "chick's car," the Miata has been, over its three generations, one of the finest driving instruments ever built - it's light, agile and rear-wheel drive with direct, snappy steering, an engine that revels in being revved and a precise, smooth-shifting transmission. The fact that it's ridiculously affordable and reliable is simply a bonus.
It should come as no surprise then, that a car with these traits has endured for 25 years, a milestone reached only by some of the most famous nameplates in the auto industry - Corvette, Mustang, F-150, SL, M3 and so on. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Jay Leno spent some time with the little roadster that could, while also chatting with two of the Mazda employees that were central to the MX-5's arrival on the world's automotive scene, Bob Hall and Tom Matano.
Take a look below for the latest video from Jay Leno's Garage on the excellent Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
Huet Brothers working on new Miata-based retro coupe
Wed, 14 May 2014Does the name Huet ring a bell? The Dutch brothers started out doing classic car tours in Europe before they started designed and building their own retro sports cars. The first was called the Huet Brothers Special. It was based on an old Triumph TR6 and surfaced back in 2009. But a few years later they started showing designs for a new coupe that called for a straight-six engine under a long bonnet with a fastback roofline, and started taking orders. Over the past two and a half years we didn't see anything materialize out of the Huet Brothers' plans, but word out of the Netherlands has it that the design is back on the table.
According to the Autovisie section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Tino and Paul Huet were planning on building their coupe on the base of the MX-5 Miata. But now that Mazda is preparing to launch an all-new model, the Huets have decided to wait until next year and build their dream car on the new Skyactiv roadster chassis.
Rather than trying to shoehorn in a bigger engine (or the subsequent diesel model that was set to follow), the Huets are reportedly prepared to stick with Mazda's four-pot, offering it in stock form and various states of upgraded tune.
