This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new. 

This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale.  This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Ms. Patricia Soya in Illinois.  She kept the car in excellent condition throughout her ownership and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years.  

I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984.  This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was new.  Since new, this RX-7 has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition.  

This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built.  It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed.  This is a superb driver's car.  The car is light, quick and responsive.  The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound.  The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting.  The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle.  The brakes are excellent.  The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it. 
  
This RX-7 starts and runs very well.  To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time.  The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently.  The engine does not smoke or run rough.  The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet.  

This car is a blast to drive.  The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power.  The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly.  The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent.  This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated.  This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues.  I know of no reason this car couldn't make a long drive anywhere. 

The body is straight, solid and clean with no exterior body panel rust.  The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition.  The paint is clean and looks very good for the age.  The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice.  The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age.

The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition.  The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased.  The floormats were only removed for the photos.  The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great.  The dash is clean and in good shape.  This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car.

This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning.  30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway.

Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra. 

This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new.  Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is more sun-faded and dull; the rest of the paint is glossy and in very good shape.  The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper. The fuel gauge does not work, however the car will have a full tank of gas at pickup.   

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Watch what happens inside a rotary engine

Thu, Mar 15 2018

Since it looks like Mazda may very well revive the Wankel rotary engine as a range extender for electric cars, there's no better time to become reacquainted with the quirky internal-combustion engine. And there's hardly a better way to become reacquainted than by peering into a running rotary engine, which you can do with the video above. The video comes to us from the YouTube channel Warped Perception. The channel has already shown what happens inside a conventional internal-combustion piston engine by putting a clear cylinder head on top of a flathead engine. This new video shows off the rotary engine by adding a clear side to a tiny model-airplane engine, something that we weren't aware existed and are glad to know about now. Despite the tiny size, the engine is functionally almost exactly like the bigger versions you'll find in Mazdas from about 1967 to 2012. It has intake and exhaust ports on the edges of the rotor housing, and the triangular rotor swings about in a peanut-shaped housing. For maximum effect, jump to right around the 7:40 timestamp. This is the point at which a bit of acetylene is added to the air-fuel mix for a brighter flame. It's at this point that you can really see when the mixture combusts and how the pressure of the flame pushes the rotor to produce rotational motion. Each stage of the video does slow things down to make everything as clear as possible. Even if you already knew how rotary engines worked, it's still fascinating to watch, first because it's something you don't get to see usually, and also because of the engine's elegant simplicity.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
