Outstanding example of the first generation Miata - the purest variant of the model.  Each year, Mazda offered special editions - this is the '92 version, called the "Black & Tan."  The tan leather interior is in great shape, with just a little wear on the driver's seat and side bolster - no wear through or tears, though.  Tan carpets (with original SE floor mats) in great shape - very clean with minimal wear.  It includes the matching tan top (great condition) and vinyl top boot (also in great shape).  The Nardi wood shift knob and parking brake handle are also original and were specific to the '92 SE model - as are the stainless steel sill plates.  It is also equipped with ice-cold A/C, power windows, cruise control, and a limited slip differential.  The stock radio has been replaced with an Alpine AM/FM/CD/MP3 unit with a removeable faceplate, as well as new Clearwater speakers in the doors and new OEM-style headrest speakers.  The BFG tires are in great shape with lots of tread remaining. 

No modifications.  Non-smoker - very clean inside, in the trunk, and underhood.  No rust and no corrosion on the aluminum bits under the hood - see the engine photo for more detail.

Includes a red HARDTOP that is not original to the car.

Issues - The power antenna motor works, but the toothed cable is broken - a new antenna is included.  Also, the rear window plastic is yellowed, brittle, and cracked in two places, but the window can be replaced without replacing the top - a shop local to me will do it for $100 with the rear section of the top removed.  There are a few door dings and paint scratches that come with normal use, but overall the body is in excellent condition.  The wheels are non-original and from a '94 Miata - the '92 SE came with BBS wheels. 

Has a clean CARFAX showing two prior owners before me - I've owned it for the past year.

I prefer local pick-up, but will assist the winning bidder's shipper with loading for shipment to the lower 48 states only - no international buyers.  Also, the winning bidder is responsible for all taxes and fees associated with shipping.  Sold as-is, where is, with no warranty. 

A five hundred dollar ($500) deposit in the form of a certified check or cash is due within seven (7) days of the end of the auction and full payment is due upon pick-up or shipment - which must occur within fourteen (14) days of the end of the auction.  Buyer is responsible for all transfer fees.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal to be livestreamed, feature Duran Duran

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

We're all hungry like the wolf to see the unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, but Mazda is seriously excited about taking the sheet of its latest droptop because it has 1980s New Wave act Duran Duran headlining the event. In case you can't make it to Monterey, CA, Tokyo or Barcelona to watch the reveal happen, the brand is also livestreaming it on YouTube starting at 6:00 PM PT (9:00 PM ET). The Miata is then showing its all-new face again during the broadcast of Fashion Rocks on CBS on September 9 at 9:00 PM ET.
Facts about the new MX-5 have remained elusive, but we saw its bare chassis at the 2014 New York show. The roadster was rumored to return to the classic oval grille from the earlier models and also shed a decent amount of weight over the current version, possibly around 300 pounds.
Don't worry about noting the big reveal in your calendars, though. Not only will Autoblog be in attendance in Monterey to hear Simon Le Bon belt out Rio, we will also publish another post linking to the livestream before the unveiling. In the meantime, scroll down to read Mazda's announcement and check out the link to the stream, which just shows a countdown at the moment.

Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.

2014 Mazda3 breaks cover early, in Euro-spec at least

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

We're set to get a closer look at the US-spec 2014 Mazda3 later today, but AutoExpress has the first peek at the machine's European cousin (after initial leaks reportedly came from a Czech outlet). The photos show a compact that's taken plenty of design inspiration from its older sister, the Mazda6. That's excellent news, as the larger car's dynamic front fascia, accentuated fender arches and long nose translate well to the Mazda3. Inside, there are are new and improved material choices, and the longer wheelbase means occupants get to enjoy more room than before. There's also a larger trunk with 12.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
Buyers in the EU can get their hands on a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine with 99 horsepower, though the old 2.0-liter four-cylinder will still be available in either 118 hp or 163 hp configuration. A 2.2-liter diesel tops out the engine choices.
The 2014 Mazda3 is lighter than its predecessor and boasts disk brakes and a multi-link rear suspension on every trim. That means this thing should be fun to shuffle around. Stay tuned for details on the US-spec variant later today, including a lot more images of the good-looking hatch.
