1983 Mazda RX7 GSL. Near perfect deep black paint over rust free/bondo free Florida body. Body has 159k (and may go up slightly as I still drive the car a few times per week); 12a motor has roughly 58k on full Atkins Rotary rebuild. Suspension is all new (Racing Beat springs and urethane bushings) and car drives super. 4-wheel discs; limited slip rear. Power windows, power brakes, sunroof with steel panel and rare glass panel, 5-speed manual trans, cruise (works) and JVC Arsenal am/fm/cd/mp3/bluetooth player. New Racing beat cat back exhaust (cat is deleted) and car is still really quiet. Everything is 100% and car is a pleasure to drive anywhere... for an older RX7, it corners like it's on rails even with the 13" tires. Selling as I need a larger car for more seating - must be sold, so if you're looking for a fully sorted first gen RX7, this is definitely worth looking at!
Motor fully rebuilt aprx 58k miles ago by Atkins - runs 100% with stock Nikki carb
Rat's nest removed due to failed solenoids (car starts/runs perfect and returns 21mpg all day with daily driving - pushes close to 30mpg on the highway)
New K&N drop in air filter
New driveshaft
New Racing Beat springs
New Racing Beat cat back exhaust
New cat delete mid pipe with resonator
New Racing Beat urethane suspension bushings throughout
New dual alternator pulley (air pump deleted)
New rotary aviation adapter for injecting 2 cycle oil from separate oil storage tank into the motor for better lubrication - easily removed/disabled to return to stock
2nd Gen fuse block installed under hood to do away with the problematic fusible links
Cosmetic issues - the original dash was covered with a replacement dashpad cover. It's starting to wrinkle a bit. Carpet in rear cargo area is faded from sun exposure. One area of the paint has odd crazing (which was even in the original paint before the car was stripped and repainted - so slight it's impossible for me to photograph - it's above the gas door and hasn't ever been noticed by anyone but me). Body plastic pieces (@ rear bumper ends) are starting to age warp a little. Car originally had A/C but was removed long before I acquired it.
Car draws incredible attention wherever it goes - ALWAYS drawing complements on the quality of the paint and regarding the overall condition of the car.
All prospective bidders are encouraged to call me with questions or to schedule a viewing of the car. If anyone would be interested in having a local Mazda dealer look at it for condition verification, feel free to call me between 9am and 10pm EST @ 716.250.8439. Additional photos of specific areas available on request. Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping issues.
Once again, this car must be sold, so feel free to make reasonable offers!

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.
Mazda launches 25th Anniversary Miata pre-order site, priced from $32,205
Fri, 02 May 2014Mazda made a big celebration of the MX-5 Miata at the 2014 New York Auto Show with a bunch of classic models on display. It capped off the model's 25th birthday with the announcement of the 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition and showed off the much-anticipated, next-generation version's chassis.
While we are still at least year away from the new Miata hitting the road, the anniversary edition is on its way and is limited to just 100 copies for the United States. The special cars start at $32,205, compared to $23,970 for the 2015 softtop model and $28,665 for the 2015 retractable hardtop version. There is an additional $795 destination charge for all of them.
To make sure everyone gets a chance to own the ceremonial convertible, Mazda has a countdown on its website until 10:25 AM PDT, May 20, 2014. When the day comes, 250 people can to register for the car, and the first 100 to be verified as buyers get the rare Miata. Those with multiple entries will be disqualified.
Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.
