1979 Mazda Rx-7 S Coupe 2-door 1.1l on 2040-cars
Lafayette, New Jersey, United States
For sale: 1979 Mazda RX7. All original, interior, paint, wheel, etc. This car is as when purchased new. This car is automatic with 35,825 original miles; color is white and has a sunroof. One adult owned. I only transferred title to my name. As I know, the car spent most of its life garaged and while I've been in possession of her she has remained garaged. She has not been modified or altered. The paint is all-original. There are several spots that appear to have been touched up prior to me. There is a small spot of rust by the rear hatchback. The interior is original. There are a couple of spots in the interior that show wear, more specifically a seam and cut. I purchased the trim for the door handle pulls, but have not installed them. I periodically run, wash and clean the interior; she isn't taken out and driven. The Paint is original but is not as shinny as when new. There is only slight surface rust on the frame rails as far as I can see. For the age, she is quite clean. The engine is unmodified and stock. I replaced the battery with a Diehard Gold. Tires are in great shape as they have extremely low miles by the amount of tread remaining. The spare is full size and has the same rim as pictured on the car. The car does come with factory air conditioning, but needs a recharge/servicing. Am/Fm radio, manual steering. One of the retractable headlight motors does not operate,
but does rotate freely and can be manually deployed. All the lighting interior
and exterior operates as it should. Not pictured is the rear louver that came with the car. It currently is not on the car and needs to have the hinges repaired. The hinges were damaged during its transportation to me. Overall the car is a good example of what the car looked liked when new. The RX7 was originally purchased in California. Since taking possession of her I have kept her in running order. However I do not drive the vehicle. I have garage kept her in the same location and the stall where she lives and does not show any fluid on the concrete. The rear axle differential area is moist, but no drips, but I don't know if that was from a previous servicing or the oil wicking. I have not inspected the brakes but in the short driving around the block they have worked fine and did not pull at that time. I have the owners Log Book,Manufacturer's Limited warranty and service book and the owners manual. All manuals are original. I only have one set of keys and the main key does show Mazda. I could not confirm it is the original. The only records I have are what is listed in the service book. Since the car only has 35,825 mile, the last entry was on 5/16/83. I was not given any other records for maintenance services. (I also have the original invoice.) I only titled the vehicle in my state. It has not been through any state inspection in the recent few years. It was last titled and registered in Connecticut (approx. 2002). If you wanted to inspect the car, it can be arranged. Please inspect the photos. I've tried to represent the condition as best one can, but it is best, as you know, to inspect the vehicle in person! (Questions, please give 48 hours to get back, usually it is much sooner!) The RX7 is available for inspection. For additional pictures: m.flickr.com/#/photos/flying480/sets/72157630985748062/ |

Chicago Auto Show page claims 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata to produce 155 hp [UPDATE]
Tue, Jan 27 2015UPDATE: Mazda wasn't willing to confirm or deny the figures cited by the Chicago Auto Show, although we're betting the 155-horsepower figure is a bit on the low side. As for the CAS page, a Mazda spokesman told Autoblog that they "aren't sure where they got that number." The horsepower estimate has since been pulled down. Well, someone may have made a boo-boo. The Chicago Auto Show is currently hosting a page that claims the Mazda MX-5 will produce 155 horsepower, courtesy of a 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder. If this is correct, it'd be the first time the MX-5's US power output had been revealed. The 155 hp figure would account for a 12-hp drop from that of the outgoing MX-5, though, a corresponding weight loss should still improve the power-to-weight ratio for the 2016 model. Now, the CAS page could simply be following previous reports, including one from Autoblog. As recently as October, it was being reported that the MX-5 would be powered by a 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder, a version of which is producing 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque in the Mazda3. Naturally, we've reached out to Mazda for comment – or perhaps even confirmation – on the info from CAS, although we aren't expecting a reply until at least later this morning (darn time zones). Of course, as soon as we hear anything, we'll update this story. Related Video:
Mazda6 diesel engine delayed over low performance, still coming
Mon, Dec 1 2014Oh Mazda... we had many hopes for the promised diesel four-cylinder in the Mazda6, but those have remained largely unfulfilled, as the oil-burning powerplant has failed to appear on dealer lots following its 2012 LA Auto Show announcement. Despite engineering issues that forced the company to announce that the program was delayed back in September 2013, Mazda remains adamant that the 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D is still coming to our shores. "We're still very much committed to diesel," Mazda's North American CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, told Automotive News. "We are still working on getting the performance aspects up to where we want them, and we do have a plan – an engineering road map – to get it done." According to AN, Mazda's initial plan with the 2.2-liter diesel was to build an engine so clean it could get by without an aftertreatment system, which generally accounts for the price premium of diesel engines versus their gas counterparts. The new system has come with performance issues, though, necessitating the delays. "If [we were] a commodity brand and didn't care about that, it would be on the market right now," O'Sullivan told AN. "But I know the people were expecting something from us, expecting certain drive characteristics and performance, and I didn't want to disappoint them." While O'Sullivan's defense of the diesel Mazda is admirable, the exec stops short of giving us an indication of when the new engine will finally arrive.
Mazda taps Americas head as CEO to raise game in its biggest market
Fri, May 11 2018TOKYO — Mazda has named the head of its Americas operations as its next president and CEO after its current chief steps down in June, as Japan's fifth-largest automaker seeks to boost profitability in North America, its biggest market. The company said on Friday that Masamichi Kogai will step down and be replaced by current vice president Akira Marumoto, who now oversees operations in the Americas. The changes are effective June 26 after Mazda's annual shareholders' meeting. Mazda, which has global annual sales of around 1.6 million vehicles, has enjoyed a run of rising vehicle sales, expanding in markets particularly in North America, which accounts for nearly 30 percent of total sales. But as one of Japan's smaller automakers and a tiny player globally, it faces growing competition in the United States, where market growth has slowed, and where the company's profitability has sagged due to higher discounting and slowing demand for sedans. The maker of the MX-5 Miata roadster and the reputed Skyactiv gasoline engines also faces higher costs to stay competitive in an industry which is being disrupted by new technologies, including self-driving cars and electric vehicles. Marumoto, a 38-year company veteran with a background in engineering who described himself as having a "strict" work ethic and admitted to being "short-tempered" at times, previously led Mazda's corporate planning and product strategy divisions before heading its Americas operations. He said that growing sales and improving profitability in the North American market would be his biggest priority, along with expanding the company's brand image as an innovative car maker. "Given the rapid changes occurring in the auto industry at the moment it's often asked whether a small company like us will be OK," Marumoto, 60, told reporters at a briefing in Tokyo. "But before we even consider this we need to show our strengths, and what makes us different if we want to grow our brand." Kogai, who became Mazda's president and CEO in 2013, will be following the footsteps of his two immediate predecessors who also held the top job for five years each. He will still be with the automaker and become its chairman, the company said. Earlier this year, Mazda announced that it would invest in a new, $1.6 billion plant in the U.S. state of Alabama as a joint venture with Toyota.
