Up for a no reserve auction is a very rare little Mazda 626 2 door coupe from 1979. This car was purchased from the original owner in Washington State years ago and was only recently insured for use in Canada. The car does run but appears to have a blown head gasket and with the wear I discovered on the cam in a previous repair I suspect a new head is in order. The car has only 66K miles, very low for a car this old and spent the last few years staying dry in a shipping container. Cosmetically it needs paint as the roof and lower front cowling shows surface rust, peeling clearcoat on the hood, a few scratches here and there, and a rust blister on the rear fender panel. Most of these cars rusted to the ground long ago so this one is in exceptional shape considering. The interior is in very good shape but has the usual cracks on the dash, and a crack in the vinyl of the driver's side bolster. The interior was redone at one time and the cloth looks basically new. Other than the interior the only thing that has been added is the RX-7 style aluminum wheels that were an option on later years. These look to have been polished at one time and look very good. Tires appear to be a matched set and look to have decent tread but they are likely old and I wouldn't trust them in the rain. The weatherstripping on the door glass is dry and cracking as well. The auto transmission shifts fine and everything works on the car to my knowledge as I had the chance to drive it for about 2 hours before it started to overheat. It's a lot of fun to drive and reminds me of my first car, an old RX-7. Stock radio works, window winders are stiff and likely just need to be used, and everything else appears to be functioning also. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email and will post anything that I may have missed.

I do expect the high bidder to send payment via paypal within 24 hours and car pick-up to be within 10 days. You are not bidding to come look at the car but if you choose to during the auction I will gladly show it to you. The car is located in Agassiz, B.C. and you will be responsible for shipping, exporting etc. Being a U.S. car it should be easy to bring it back into the country if that's its new home but it is up to you to check with the US border.

Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata a knight in white satin

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

We're not going to lie to you. The reason you're seeing the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata on these pages again is solely because this is the first time we're seeing the roadster displayed in a color other than the ruby shade it was first shown in. Okay, okay, so this is the first time the Miata is being displayed at a North American auto show other than SEMA, and we'd say that this is the first time Mazda is showing a US-spec model, but clearly this is a right-hand-drive car. Either way, there's still not much to it yet, especially since Mazda is still withholding power and performance figures.
As expected, the ND Miata, as it is already known among the cognoscenti, will receive a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder and the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic here in the US. The 1.5-liter model engine that had been linked to the car back in the rumormill stage will not make it to our showrooms.
Preliminary specifications still show the Miata measuring just 154.1 inches in length overall, with an increased track width to 68.1 inches and a low, low overall height of 49.0 inches. Despite the larger-displacement engine and its presumably heavier weight, Mazda is still claiming ideal 50:50 weight distribution and a weight loss of over 220 pounds versus today's NC generation. All of which sounds like the Miata has the right ingredients to make good on its promised Jinba Ittai ("rider and horse as one") driving experience.

Mazda recalling 190,000 CX-7s due to rusty ball joints

Fri, Aug 26 2016

UPDATE: This post has been updated with additional information from Mazda. The Basics: Mazda is recalling 190,102 Mazda CX-7 crossovers built between February 14, 2006, to May 9, 2012 – model years 2007 through 2012. The Problem: Water can sneak in between the suspension ball joint fittings. If snow and road salt are common in your neck of the woods, the joints can corrode and separate from the lower control arms. That's bad if you enjoy steering your CX-7. According to Mazda, owners of affected models may notice a rattle from the front suspension due to the loose ball joint in the lower control arm fitting. Mazda describes separation of the ball joint and control arm as a "worst case" scenario "after extended operation in such condition." Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if the rusting issue has led to any crashes, injuries, or deaths. Autoblog has a call into Mazda for additional details and will update this post with any new information. There have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to this recall. The Fix: Owners should report to their local Mazda service center, where techs will replace the both front lower control arms. Any work done is free of charge. If you own one: Mazda will perform some automotive triage with this recall, focusing on CX-7s that have had the longest exposure to salt and are most likely to suffer control arm separation first. Owners of 2007s and 2008s come first, followed by 2009 through 2011 models. Mazda will also focus on vehicles registered in states where snow and road salt are most common Â– Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. If you live in a more temperate region or own a 2012 CX-7, Mazda will perform recall work as "parts are available." Owners can contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 for additional info. Recall notices should hit the mail around October 10th.
