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.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal livestream is here and now

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Let's not understate the significance and difficulty of what's been accomplished here. In this ever-connected, constantly surveilled modern auto industry, Mazda has pulled a coup - it's kept a new vehicle under wraps. Yes, we've seen hacked up and camouflaged mules and maybe a form under a sheet, but Mazda is about to reveal its next-generation MX-5 Miata, and the car - let alone its specifications - hasn't been leaked anywhere yet. Not via clandestine camera phone snapshot, not by patent drawing, not by leaked ad copy, not even by diecast model. Believe us, we've looked.
And this isn't just some humdrum crossover or workaday compact, it's the Miata, the world's most popular roadster, apple of the enthusiast community's eye and seeming center of gravity for the Japanese automaker. For those who are genuinely excited about cars - about motoring - this is an impressive feat. If anything, Mazda's radio silence regarding the fourth-generation ND Miata has only served to heighten our anticipation for a model that probably won't reach showrooms for another year.
So, what's true and what's false among all the rumors? Will the already lightweight Miata really shed hundreds of pounds? What exactly will live under hood and drive those rear wheels?

Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.

2014 Mazda3 2.0L Hatchback officially rated at 40 mpg highway

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

The Environmental Protection Agency has spoken, and these are the miles per gallon numbers it has officially bestowed on the 2014 five-door Mazda3 hatchback with the SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter engine: 29 city, 40 highway, 33 combined when fitted with the six-speed manual; 30 city, 40 highway and 33 combined when equipped with the six-speed automatic.
Those numbers exactly match the fuel economy targets that Mazda had set for the car when optioned with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. For comparison to other cars in the segment, the EPA numbers for the 2013 Honda Civic sedan are 28 city, 39 highway, 32 combined when its 140-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with the five-speed automatic. The Hyundai Elantra GT gets 27 city, 37 highway and 30 combined according to the EPA when its 148-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The numbers for the 2014 Ford Focus aren't out yet.
