 RUST FREE! RUST FREE! RUST FREE!

Summer weather is upon us and what a wonderful way to enjoy this time of year cruising back roads or a drive to the beach or lake in this wonderful drop top sports car.
The car has been in the Southwestern desert since it was new so rest assured it is Rust Free and accident free.

The little Mazda has the wonderfully reliable and very fast 13 B fuel injected rotary motor. These motors have literally 5 internal moving parts. For those unfamiliar with the Rotary engine, there is a wonderful series of videos on You Tube produced by a German engineer/ engine builder who specializes in Performance Mazda rotary rebuilds, I would suggest checking them out.

 The engine was rebuild by Mazda Trix and has approximately 60,000 on it. The transmission clutch assembly was replaced at the same time. The motor is mainly stock except for an upgrade dual exhaust, upgraded Mass air flow meter and a K& N cold air intake kit.
The car runs and drive excellent and has never presented me with any problems in all the years that I have owned it. The car is smooth and pulls like a freight train. The trans shifts so smooth it is amazing. I would not hesitate to drive the car cross country at a moments notice.

The little sports car is fully optioned from the factory and everything works including the Cold A/C and power top.

Upgrades:
Lowered springs front and rear
Adjustable gas shocks front and rear
Aftermarket stereo system
Corbeau bucket seats with provision for harness belts ( I sent the factory seats out to a shop to be reupholstered in custom colors, but
the shop owner went out of business and took my seats with him )
Aftermarket front air dam (i do have a stock factory nose in white that I will include if you would like it)
Removed factory emblems, correctly welded the holes shot
Car was resprayed in factory white using all PPG Products. The finish is nicer than most show cars.

This is just a very nice sports car that will provide its' new owner many years of trouble free driving and fun. It is very difficult to find used vehicles as nice as this. Oh, did I mention that car is RUST FREE.

My reserve is less than what this high quality paint job cost me.

Shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I will gladly assist in any manner that I can. So long as the car is paid in full once the auction ends I will gladly store the car for free until your shipper arrives. The car will remain at my commercial shop which makes pick up and loading a breeze for an 18 wheeler.

A non refundable deposit of $750.00 is due immediately upon auctions end.

Please fell free to contact me at 928-727-0287 if you have any questions.  Thanks

Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.

Feds investigating Mazda CX-9 over suspension problems

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2007-2008 Mazda CX-9 because the lower ball joint in the front suspension can potentially separate while driving. An estimated 54,000 examples of the crossover might be affected. The investigation was prompted by six complaints of this happening on the road. Because the complaints are coming more rapidly as of late, NHTSA thinks the issue could be getting worse. The problem also appears to be more prevalent in states that use salt on their roads in the winter. None of the failures caused any injuries, and all but one happened at 20 miles per hour or slower. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence" of a potential problem and can sometimes lead to recalls. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Front Suspension Ball Joint Separation Date Investigation Opened: JUN 09, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15022 Component(s): SUSPENSION All Products Associated with this Investigation close Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) MAZDA CX-9 2007-2008 Details Manufacturer: Mazda Motor Corp. SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received six (6) complaints (VOQs) alleging incidents of front suspension LBJ separation in MY 2007 through 2008 Mazda CX-9 vehicles. The reports appear to show an increasing trend. One of the separations allegedly occurred at 40 mph and the other 5 incidents occurred at speeds between 0 and 20 mph. The first VOQ was received in October 2013, followed by 2 reports in late 2014 and 3 reports in the first 5 months of 2015. Four of the VOQs are from states using high volumes of road salts (?salt states?) which, for purposes of this investigation, include: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The other VOQs were from northern Virginia, which borders the ?salt state? region, and South Carolina. ODI also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles. A preliminary investigation is being opened to assess the scope, frequency, and safety consequence of the alleged defect. The six VOQs associated with this investigation are: 10717510, 10714469, 10695142, 10668978, 10640541, and 10546535.

Updated Mazda3 hits US roads this year

Thu, Jul 14 2016

Mazda released an updated variant of its Mazda3 that will go on sale in Japan today and later this year in the US. The compact vehicle benefits from Mazda's G-Vectoring Control (GVC) that provides integrated control of the vehicle's engine, chassis, transmission, and body. The result, from our own experience, results in a car that's more enjoyable to drive. GVC is the first feature in a series of new Skyactiv Vehicle Dynamics technologies. Mazda is developing them to provide drivers with greater feel and a more enjoyable experience. "Mazda is striving to become an irreplaceable presence in the lives of our customers, to create a special bond with them and to be a 'one-and-only' brand they will chose again and again," Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said in a statement. Other than the new feature, the 2017 Mazda3 goes mostly unchanged with the front end gaining slimmer turn signals and fog lights. The current-gen lineup, claims Mazda, is centered around Jinba Ittai – a term the automaker uses to signify oneness between car and driver – that started with the launch of the Mazda CX-5. The updated Mazda3 will go on sale later this year in the US, but the automaker did not announce an official date.
