1984 Mazda "5.0L V8" RX-7 GSL. I recently took this vehicle in on a trade. I have fell in love with this little car, but I need to sell it. The man that I got it from owned it for almost 19 years. It was his first car. He went through a couple original rotary engines that seems like always have problems...and decided to make this classic RX-7 the "ULTIMATE" little sports car...he did ALOT of research and properly did the V8 conversion a few years ago.
I do not recommend this car for a younger driver...It is great for cruising around, but it is VERY POWERFUL.
It has been ran at the dragstrip a few times just to see what it would do...It ran mid 12 second 1/4 mile times on the motor alone. It ran a 11.83 at 120mph on its shot of nitrous and the drag radials.
I will describe in detail everything that I know about this car below. I have provided 150+ detailed pictures along with video clips. I have the clean and clear title in hand and ready for a new owner. I believe the reserve price is LOW, so put your bid in and bid to buy!! Or of course make a SERIOUS offer. Hopefully with the hours I have invested in taking pictures and making this auction I have answered all questions, but if not, feel free to call: 513-464-TEN 20. Please read everything and view all of the pics/videos prior to calling.
BODY & WHEELS
Original body is very straight and solid. Both doors and hatch glass open and close like new. The pop up roof works perfect. All of the glass is crack free. The hood could use a little bit of scuffing/bodywork prior to paint, however I think it looks cool black. The undercarriage is VERY SOLID, but does have original scabby undercoating and some surface rust forming(See pics). Cosmetically, it is an absolutely beautiful and stunning 1984 Mazda RX-7. Here is some more details:
- Painted Ford Competition Yellow
- Fiberglass Hood w/ Hood Pins
- Fiberglass front air dam
- PIAA headlights that look very cool after dark and work great too
- Foglights in air dam that also work good
- RS Aluminum Alloy 16x7 4x100mm wheels
- Front Tires -- Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 205/45/16
- Rear Tires -- Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 225/50/16

- Extra set of rear Mickey Thompson Drag Radials on 15x7 aluminum rims(Not pictured, but will have pics of them tomorrow)
ENGINE & DRIVETRANE

The engine sounds very healthy with a deep V8 lope at idle. The transmission shifts into every single gear perfect and the clutch feels tight. The brakes stop this car hard and straight. All of the V8 sound exits the rear. The suspension is surprisingly very comfortable and is a smooth ride when hitting bumps. This car runs and drives just as nice as it looks!!! It starts right up everytime and is reliable! It cruises down the road amazingly and is an absolute blast to drive!! There is no noticable leaks, and this car does not mark its spot when parked. All of the fluids look good and clean too. Its alot of fun to cruise around and has ALOT of power. It sounds amazing....This V8 RX-7 runs, shifts, drives, and stops great. I would personally trust driving it anywhere.
INTERIOR
The interior appears to be original and in exceptional condition for being 30 years old. Everything looks nice with exception of the carpet. The original carpet could use a good shampoo cleaning. The only original gauges that appear to work is the fuel and temp gauge. It even appears to have its original spare wheel/tire still intact too... I have provided A LOT of detailed pictures below. Keep scrolling through all of the pictures and please view them all. I know there is an overwhelming amount of them, but I want to showcase how cool this class 84' "V8" RX-7 is....

A group of plucky mountain goats in a Canadian national park apparently found the hardscrabble life of a common animal too tedious and tried their hands, rather tongues, at car detailing. YouTube user Darkrider1287 uploaded this video of the goats in action last week. His companion were driving along Maligne Valley Road in Alberta's Jasper National Park when a handful of young mountain goats descended on their Mazda. As the bewildered couple stopped their car, the goats surrounded them and proceeded to lick the vehicle clean. Knowing a good video opportunity when he saw one, Darkrider pulled out his phone to film the endearing and hilarious scene. For thirty minutes, the mountain goats licked the car clean from stem to stern. Paying little to no mind to the humans within, the goats cleared the Mazda of its accumulation of dust, bugs, pollen, and other tasty road grime. "So thorough!" said Darkrider as he narrated his video. "That's some tasty dust!" As the goats cleaned the car, other tourists stopped to laugh and take pictures of the strange scene. Eventually, a handful of cars and as many as ten goats had the Mazda surrounded. "Within a few minutes, we were crowded by both sheep and also tourists taking pictures of our funny plight," Darkrider stated in a comment on the video. "We stayed for about 30 minutes before moving on due to a rainstorm." So what exactly is going on here? A similar event happened to a National Geographic reporter in the same park in 2012. A park ranger told the report that the mountain goats were addicted to the salt used in Alberta to keep the roads from freezing. Even in August, salt can still make its way on to a car in the form of road dust. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Visiting an auto museum is one of the best ways we know to connect with car culture and to commune with the past and bone up on one's knowledge. Most of us have a decent museum within a few hours drive of where we live, but that doesn't mean it's easy to see the world's great collections - factors like cost, time and mobility can get in the way. Videos are great, but they don't allow us to browse at our own pace or choose what we'd like to focus on. The folks behind Google Maps have a solution - the virtual museum tour, as seen here at Mazda's fantastic museum in Hiroshima, Japan. The Google Maps tour allows viewers to take a walk through the main exhibition area of the museum, and you can focus on specific classic cars from Mazda, or check out displays featuring new technologies like Skyactiv. To take a quick spin through the museum - or a leisurely stroll at your own pace - scroll down to start your own virtual tour.
Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse. We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.
