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.

A tuned 1973 Mazda RX-3 is all business on Petrolicious

Wed, Feb 17 2016

People with good memories might remember Savant Young and his highly modified 1973 Mazda RX-3 from an appearance on Jay Leno's Garage last summer. Now Petrolicious spotlights him and learns more about his amazing rotary coupe. After extensive upgrades, his car packs an estimated 400 horsepower, which is especially potent with only around 2,000 pounds to move around. Young thinks his Mazda is a perfect expression of his personality as a martial artist because it offers no frills and is all about business. This coupe looks ready for a fight, too, and sounds like a swarm of angry bees going down the road. Young works hard during the week but makes time to drive the RX-3 every weekend. We can understand why. A few hours enjoying this rotary could definitely erase some stress. Get a taste of this amazing machine in Petrolicious' latest video. If you want to experience another cool rotary, the channel profiled an RX-2 racecar from Australia last month. Related Video:

Mazdaspeed2 supermini hot hatch under consideration

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Though the Ford Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 Abarth (and arguably the Mini Cooper S) may stand pretty much alone in the North American market, in overseas markets, supermini hot hatches are a big deal. Unfortunately, challengers like the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo never make it to our showrooms, but word has it that there's soon to be a new entry on the market.
That would be the Mazdaspeed2, which would be badged in certain markets as the Mazda2 MPS. Speaking with Australian site CarAdvice.com.au at the launch of the Mazda2 on which it would be based, the Japanese automaker's global sales chief and the hatchback's deputy product manager hinted that such a product is definitely being discussed, even if it hasn't yet been approved.
This wouldn't be the first time such a notion were entertained, as Mazda has shown numerous performance concepts based on the previous Mazda2/Demio over the years, but none have come to fruition.
