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.

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.

44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata design walkaround

Sat, Sep 13 2014

By now, you've likely read what we think of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata's new looks both inside and out, and you've probably poured over the available photos and started to make up your own mind about the roadster's radically more aggressive new appearance. More than likely, however, you haven't heard much from Mazda itself about its new design, and we're here to remedy that. Join Autoblog as we go over the new Miata from tip to tail with Derek Jenkins, Mazda North America's director of design. Jenkins, a veteran of both Audi and Volkswagen design studios, has been with the Japanese automaker for nearly four years, and he's kept a close eye in the ND Miata program along with his team in Irvine, CA. Check out our video to see Jenkins explain his team's exterior and cabin handiwork and to learn a little more about why the new model graduates from the Miata's historically cute and friendly aesthetic to something altogether more assertive.
