This is a 1979 Limited Edition RX7 in which there were only 3000 produced world wide. Here is a chance to own a very unique piece of rotary history. This car has all the bells and whistles not found on another rx7 of that year- a/c, cruise, glass and hardtop sunroof, special upholstery, power antenna and hatch release, aluminum alloy rims with matching spare, special Beat Black paint with red and silver pinstriping, not found on any other model of rx7.

This has been my restoration project for 10 years now. All the new items put on in the last few months include: paint job and pinstripes, upholstery and shifter boot, floor mats, windshield and Toyo tires with 70,000 mile rating.

Engine specs: Rebuilt 13b rotary engine (intake porting performed for better flow) with no more than 10,000 miles on it, Holley 650 cfm double pumper carb, jetted and adjusted by Racing Beat. Full custom exhaust from Racing Beat including headers. Clutch, master cylinder and related bearings replaced at same time. High performance spark plug wires and NGK plugs.

"Roxy" was my first car I purchased with my own money after high school, and has been such a fun car. I am the third owner and have continued to care for this gem in the same great way the previous owners have. Most services have been kept track of in a little note book by all previous owners. Original sales receipt, warranty info and poster advertisement is still with the car. I know it would be more valuable to have original engine in it, but the first owner burnt up the engine and replaced it with a different one. So I came across a 13b and thought why not?

This car wants to be revved. I've driven it very conservatively, but can't help to put a Mitsubishi eclipse, Acura TL and a Mustang GT in their place. I tried one high speed test after the engine was broke in, and I buried the 135 mph speedometer, so it hit at least 140. Cruising with the sunroof up, and your shades on while the sun sets, is an amazing experience.

Please contact me by e-mail for any questions what so ever. Locals are welcome to test drive the car. I will only accept cash, cashier check, PayPal payment. Local pick up only or buyer pays for shipping and I release the car after full payment has cleared.

Why you absolutely need to take your Miata to a track

Wed, Nov 23 2016

Our long-term 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata entertained us all summer, but we couldn't let the good weather pass without taking a trip to a race track. So we headed to GingerMan Raceway on the other side of Michigan to give it some exercise. It's there that I fell deeper in love with our little silver-white Club and immediately regretted not taking it to the track every single weekend prior. I make a very simple case in the video above: Miatas belong on the track. They're made for it, especially our ND Club, the most track-friendly version Mazda currently makes. The Miata is also a wonderful tool for those learning to drive in these conditions. It gives you good feedback, there isn't too much power available, but the engine's output is plenty to make things entertaining. It's also one of the more balanced performance cars you can buy today and doesn't rely on fancy electronics to go faster – it's a nearly direct connection between you and the car, with no weird intermediaries or adjustable elements. This is really the simplest form of fun. To sum up: If you have a Miata, take it to a track. If you don't have a Miata, go buy one. Watch the video again if you're not convinced. Related Video:

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Preorders open for the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition

Mon, Sep 26 2016

After unveiling the gorgeous 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, the Japanese automaker announced plans to give loyal customers first dibs on one of the 1,000 models. Preorders are open at 12 PM EST on Monday, September 26th at the Mazda MX-5 RF Launch Edition website. Customers who were sent an invitation with a personalized code will have a limited time to put a $500 refundable deposit down on a limited model. Customers also have the opportunity to select the dealership where they would like to complete the transaction. Pricing for the MX-5 RF has also been announced with the sports car starting at $34,685, including destination and handling. That's roughly $9,000 more than a base MX-5 Miata. Deliveries of the sports car will begin in February 2017. While the MX-5 RF is a looker, $9,000 is a lot of change for the Launch Edition, which only adds a black roof and special badges over the regular MX-5 RF models. All 1,000 Launch Editions will be finished in Machine Gray with a black roof panel and Auburn Nappa leather on the inside. Buyers who opt for the Launch Edition will also get a numbered 42mm Tourneau watch, and can choose between an automatic and a manual transmission. The MX-5 RF Launch Edition should sell out quickly, as the 2015 Mazda MX-5 25th Anniversary Edition sold out in roughly 10 minutes when it went on sale in 2014. Didn't get an invite to preorder the Launch Edition? Worry not, as Mazda will open the special model to the general public on October 3, if there are any left.
