FOR AUCTION

1980 MAZDA RX7

 

 

I have for auction a 1980 RX7.  The vehicle is not running and was in the early  phase of a total rebuild.  This is a project car and will require being shipped or hauled to the location of your choice.  My son and I had big plans for the little car but family illness has caused us to rethink our involvement in this project.

When we bought this car it had been sitting for years.  The young man who owned the car had just had the motor rebuilt and then had a problem with the hydraulic clutch so he parked it.  It sat in the same place for years until we bought it.  It has good and bad points about it so  I thought I would just list them and let the buyer decide.  The starting price is $500.00 with no reserve.   I have the title in hand.  Good Luck!

 

THE GOOD

The Body shows no evidence of damage or wrecks

The glass is all good the windows roll up & down,  the electric rear hatch works

The seats were replaced when the engine was rebuilt and are in very good shape

All of the interior parts are all there but many will need replaced

The engine turns over and there is fire to the plugs (we tried once to get it to start but it would not hit)

The 5 speed shifts without problems sitting still

The wheels are in good shape and would be nice when cleaned up (spare tire and wheel are included)

New water pump still in the box                         $35

New carpet complete set still in the box             $200

New dash board cover still in the box                 $45

Engine, transmission, drive shaft, rear end untouched since rebuild

Most of the exterior trim mold is intact

Brakes will pump up and hold

The oil cooler and radiator intact, the block was drained when it was parked, I filled the radiator and block no leaks

No floorboard rust

Good Pictures

THE BAD

The tires are showing dry rot

There is some surface rust under the doors but it is not bad

The car has not run in years ( the engine may run if someone knows how to work on rotary engines)

The hydraulic clutch is bad

This is a project car which will require work to bring it up to an acceptable condition

The car will need to be hauled

Again this is a project car

 

 

As you can imagine there is NO warranty give or implied.  I will be happy to answer any of your questions so ask before you bid.

Mazda CEO closes door on talk of RX sports car revival

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

Some rumors in the auto industry simply refuse to die. Over the last decade, a few of the strongest have focused on Japan. A few years ago, we could have explained away the constant whispering over a new Toyota Supra, Acura NSX or Mazda RX-7 as nostalgia for Japan's golden era of performance. Today, though is different.
We already have the Nissan GT-R, and, thanks to the Toyota FT-1 Concept, a Supra successor finally appears to be on the way. Acura will someday, allegedly, deliver on its promise to put the NSX on sale. So where does that leave the third member of the Japanese performance trio mentioned above? Well, um, it still isn't happening.
"We don't have that kind of vehicle in our future product plan," Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai told Automotive News when asked about a successor to the rotary-powered RX line. "If you increase the number of segments, then the resources we can allocate to each will decline and that will prevent us from developing truly good products."

2014 Mazda3 configurator zoom-zooms to life

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The 2014 Mazda3 is probably going to be on a lot of shopping lists, thanks to its striking good looks, clean interior treatment, fuel economy and driving character. If it happens to be on your personal list of new cars to test, you'll be happy to see that the configurator for Mazda's newest product has officially gone online.
In terms of build-your-own web items, configuring a 3 isn't much of a departure from the rest of the Mazda range. Most of the work comes from choosing one of the three trim levels - Sport, Touring and Grand Touring - and selecting either the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder or its larger sibling, the 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter, Skyactiv four. From there, a simple range of color and interior finishes are available, before a slim list of packages, options and accessories. Really, Mazda's made it easy to get through this build process.
Click on over to the configurator and take a look at the options, colors and prices for Mazda's newest five-door hatchback.

R&T chases down a burglar in the million-mile Miata

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

Is the answer always Mazda Miata? We discussed this in passing on the Autoblog Podcast earlier this week, and most assuredly the answer is "no." For example, the little MX-5 would be a terrible people carrier, and it'd be useless off road. You can't really tow anything of substance with it, either. Still, if push came to shove, it's satisfying to know that the diminutive roadster could eke out a career as a chase vehicle for the police.
That fact was proven when Road & Track editor Chris Cantle did something that he himself recognizes as "stupid." Upon returning home, Cantle discovered a "twenty-something" actively burgling his home. The resulting story is easily one of the more entertaining episodes to come out of the 1990 MX-5's service to the team at R&T and, we're guessing, will be one of the highlights of the Million-Mile Miata challenge.
Be sure to head over to Road & Track for a full retelling of the chase from Cantle, as well as a follow-up on the saga.
