Hi everyone and thanks for looking at my 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE Chances are if you are looking at this, you already know about what makes this car special from factory so I will only touch upon that stuff briefly and let the pictures do most of the talking..
This particular car is a Royal Maroon code 3A GSL-SE made in April of 1985 This was a very limited production color and rumor has it that there were only two each given to each dealer in the USA. One had leather and the other had the Grey cloth of which this one is. The only option this car does NOT have is power steering. The GSL-SE had every other option available and being a 1985 and late production one at that, it had some other nice things. The GSL-SE had upgraded clutch and 5 speed as well as a limited slip differential and stouter rear suspension with gas charged shocks The best part is the fuel injected 135 hp 1.3L rotary motor known as the 13B. This motor kicks ass!! Air conditioning as well as upgraded stereo, lumbar adjustable and height adjustable drivers seat, 14inch wheels ( 205-60-14 ) ok so now about this particular car…. Yes, it only has 59K original miles. The interior is beautiful, and it has never been in an accident or been hit. It has never been repainted but the clear coat on the hood is starting to check quite a bit. The color is still there but the sheen is gone on the hood only The best thing about this car is how amazingly original it is. It has not been messed with but it has been taken care of. Just about everything with the exception of the fluids is original! The pictures speak for the condition but they can't tell you that the AC works perfectly, all interior lights illuminate and all warning lights function as they should. Even the light for the ignition switch lights up when the door is open. map light, over head light as well as rear cargo light work The stereo functions perfectly, even the weird directional switch in the console works. The electric windows operate at a good speed, Cruise control works, horn and all ventilation stuff works perfectly. The rear defrost works but the rear wiper does not and the power antenna makes noise but thats about it There are no cracks in the dash, the glovebox light works and all dash lights at night glow a beautiful red. The center console box/lid is excellent The headliner is mint, the carpet is excellent and the original floor mats are present. The steering wheel is perfect ALL glass is original Mazda with proper markings I replaced the rear glass hatch shocks but I still have them, I replaced the spark plug wires ( they are dated 1985!!!) and I still have those as well The engine starts easily and does not smoke. The radiator is clean and free of corrosion. Nothing has been altered in the engine bay I did replace the spark plugs and O2 sensor. The clutch is smooth and does not grab or chatter. the brakes are excellent The tires are ehhh… about 75% worn but I have driven far on them and they seem to be just fine. This car is tight as a drum, no rattles and no leaks. NO LEAKS!!! There are misc tiny nicks and scratches here and there.. its 30 years old!!!! The drivers door weatherstripping is dried out and cracked. Still seals OK though The windshield is perfect!! Not chipped or sand blasted and its original mazda as well I wish I could keep this beauty but I don't care for how I fit it in and neither does my son. You can drive this anywhere. I have TONS of pictures that I will post a link at the end for you to go to. Now, here are some extra cool things I have the original window sticker, all original books and manuals including a factory service manual It has the factory rare as hens teeth REAR SEAT!! with seat belts. It folds down too! I still have the original storage boxes with lids that will go with the car, One of the little locks is missing on one of the boxes I have the sunroof black storage bag and If you want I can get you the optional glass sunroof for $50 bucks from my local shop This car pulls hard!! Handles like a dream, tight as a drum and rides excellent. You will be pleased Feel free to call me with any questions. Peter (408) 466- 3838 LOTS AND LOTS Of additional pictures are available simply by asking me for them! I couldn't figure out how to add a link for them but I can send this to you Note to Ebay, HEY!! get with it and allow more pictures.. please :) Please note that I work on Monday and Tuesday and can be hard to get ahold of between 10am-7pm on those days, otherwise, Im pretty free and will do my best to answer anything else I may have forgot to mention here. Title is free and clear PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING, PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO BUY THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. HIGH BIDDER WILL TAKE IT HOME!

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."
10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
