1985 Mazda Rx-7 Gsl-se Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Snohomish, Washington, United States
1985 Mazda RX-7 RX7
GSL-SE This is
originally a California car and is just out of storage. It was stored in an
enclosed trailer in California for eight years before I purchased the car. The
car retains all of its original paint and original equipment (the only thing
that isn't original to the car is the radio). It has been well cared for and
maintained. The car runs, drives and
stops perfectly. The tires are in excellent shape with lots of tread left.
There are two sun roofs, one glass and one that is the body color of the car. The car
drives smoothly, brakes straight and accelerates like it should. On the
freeway, the car tracks straight, true and smooth. The engine does not and has not
ever exhibited any of the flooding problems that so many others experience with
the 13B fuel injected engine. The engine runs well and has plenty of power and
revs smoothly. The engine starts immediately, and there is no smoke from the
engine either on start up or while driving. The air
conditioning blows cold, the heater blows hot, the cruise control works and the
clock keeps time. The electric windows work, but are a little slow going up.
Since there is an aftermarket radio, the center console four-way speaker
control is not connected. The electric antenna does not raise up, but I have a brand
new replacement electric antenna still in the box that will be included with
the sale of the car. Overall the
exterior of the car is in excellent condition. There are some rock chips on the
nose and a couple of door dings, things that you would expect for a car that is
30 years old, but overall, the paint is all original and in really good
condition, as can be seen the pictures. The flat black window trim could
probably use a repaint, but it is just wind-worn and I’ll leave that up to the
new owner to repaint or leave as is. I wanted to leave it as original as
possible for the new owner. All the glass is in good shape and there are no
cracks. There is one small rock chip in the windshield on the passenger side
that is not very noticeable. The interior is in very good condition. The only
flaw is the steering wheel. The top of the steering wheel looks as if someone
chewed off the top of it. As mentioned earlier, the only non-stock item in the
interior is the radio. The carpets are in very good condition, having been
protected by aftermarket floor mats. The seat upholstery is in excellent
condition. The seats travel easily in their tracks and the seat back
adjustments work as they should. Included
with the car is a front nose “Bra” in like new condition (not installed) and
louvers for the rear hatch (also not installed). I have a
clear Washington state title in my name. The car is available for viewing by
appointment and I encourage you to do so. Down payment to be made by Paypal. Balance of the sale amount to to be paid by cashier's check within 7 days of the auction end. Shipping is
the responsibility of the buyer, including shipping arrangements and costs. I
will assist with the shipping on my end to the best of my ability. I will store
the car for up to two weeks after the end of the auction to allow for time to
arrange shipping. |

Fiat 124 Coupe could join Spider line next year
Wed, Aug 24 2016While Mazda's content to tease coupe lovers with the last-gen MX-5 Power Retractable Hardtop and the upcoming RF, the company is loath to offer a version of its lovable roadster with a permanent hardtop. But Fiat isn't so fickle. According to Autocar, the Italian brand could unveil a proper hardtop Fiata as early as next year. Likely called the 124 Coupe – duh – Autocar reports the addition of a fixed roof will spice up the current Spider. But what kind of spice is more difficult to predict. AC reports that FCA could stay the course, offering the new hardtop with the same powertrain lineup as the Spider – 138 horsepower in the UK and 160 hp (164 hp in Abarth trim) in the US – or drive the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder higher. As for how the car will look, Autocar points to the handsome 124 Abarth Rally Concept from the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Don't expect integrated rally lights or a standard yellow-on-red paint scheme, but the new model will likely borrow that concept's roofline – more notchback than the MX-5 RF's fastback-like look. That'd fit with the 124 Coupe's ancestors, which wore a traditional notchback roofline. Fiat offered a 124 hardtop between 1967 and 1975, giving a new hardtop Fiata much more historical precedence than a comparable MX-5. AC reports the new 124 Coupe will likely carry a 10-percent premium across the pond, with a similar increase in the US. But predicting the impact of that price hike is a little bit trickier than multiplying the 124 Spider's price by 1.1, since we don't know what trims the Coupe will come in. The Abarth is likely a shoe-in, starting around $31,000. If, and it's a big if, Fiat sells a 124 Coupe Classica, expect a $27,500 starting price, while a hardtop Lusso would be a smidge over $30,000.

2014 Mazda6 i Sport
Fri, 01 Feb 2013In an automotive landscape dominated by platform sharing, technology exchange and any number of other cross-fertilization/cost-saving/amortization exercises, it's actually pretty rare that we get to drive a new car that is as "all-new" as this, the 2014 Mazda6. With brand-spanking new Skyactiv architecture throughout - engine, transmission, body and chassis all included - this 6 represents a new era of flexible production and cutting edge running gear for the happily lithe car company.
Our own Jonathon Ramsey did a cracking job of running the Mazda6 through its First Drive paces a few months ago, and sufficiently impressed upon us just how good looking a car this is for the midsize sedan segment. Suffice it to say, now, then, that this is easily the most interesting (and quite possibly the most beautiful) midsize sedan in the segment today. However, as Mr. Ramsey reviewed a fully contented example of the 6 - one equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission - we took advantage of Mazda's North American launch event of the car to suss out the base Mazda6 i Sport, complete with its six-speed Skyactiv manual gearbox. This may not shock you, but the stripper's pretty good, too.
