It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing 2 Mercedes, 2 Olds 442's, a Jaguar XK8 Coupe, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any auction early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.
I purchased this car from it's original owner. It has always been used as an occasional driver, and I was told it had never spent a night outside or been driven in the rain. While I can't prove this, the depth of the original paint, bright chrome, clear lenses, supple rubber gaskets, still clean as new wheels, beautiful undercarriage, and flawless convertible top certainly make a strong case to back the statement. You have to drive it to truly understand how tight everything on the car feels. I have kept it garaged with the original owner's custom cover, and on a Battery Plus trickle charger since I bought it. The cover will go with the sale. I have the owner's manual, original window sticker, and the top boot that has never been taken out of it's packaging.
The body is almost perfect. There is one large scratch on the passenger door (noted in a picture), and several minor scratches around the car that aren't visible except under close observation. The paint is a very shiny, deep gloss black. All chrome is excellent. The BBS wheels are bright and without curb rash, and have premium Michelin tires with less than 1000 miles. The trunk looks unused. Under the hood is extremely clean. The convertible top shows no wear or lose of color. The leather interior is still supple and fade free. I believe the car has always been driven with the top up, and the interior has remained new in appearance. The driver side outside seat bolster shows a little wear, otherwise I would call the interior perfect. All glass is scratch free, including the convertible rear window. That's how nice she is.
1988 was the first year for the RX7 convertible, and it was a very limited production car. This one was delivered loaded. I have the original window sticker showing a $24,285 price. Options include air conditioning, power windows, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, cruise control, cassette player (remember those?), compact disc player with 6 speakers that included speakers in the headrests, leather seats and door trim, glass rear window with defroster, center console with armrest, BBS wheels, halogen headlamps. and illuminated glove box and ignition. For the year, this was about as good as it got.
Everything works perfectly on this beauty. The power top has rarely been used, and performs flawlessly. The shifter and clutch have no slack. The power windows are smooth. I have just had the A/C system serviced, and she blows cold on the hottest day. All fluids have been serviced since my ownership, and the oil changed again less than 100 miles ago. She can be driven anywhere without worries. While I would prefer to see it go to an appreciative collector, it would make a perfect first car for somebody's kid. I hate to see her go, but it's time. Whoever buys this lady will be more than happy with their purchase. Is it you?

Mazda to use rotary engine as a range-extender with its first electric vehicle
Sat, Oct 28 2017There's more news from Mazda at the Tokyo Motor Show, where the brand made a big splash, including new developments in its never-ending rotary engine saga. First, Mazda execs confirmed that the Japanese automaker will bring back the rotary engine as a range-extender and battery juicer for its first electric vehicle in 2019. But secondly, the company won't have a rotary-powered successor to its RX-7 and RX-8 sportscars in time for the company's centennial anniversary in 2020. Autoblog previously confirmed that Mazda is planning to have an EV in 2019 that will be available in both pure electric and range-extending versions. Now, the Australian website Motoring reports that the global EV will feature a powertrain similar to the experimental Japan-only Mazda2 (Demio) EV, which used a single-rotor engine as a generator to power the battery pack and increase its driving range. The publication says Mazda plans to release a series of plug-in hybrids based on existing models around 2020, then a pure electric car co-developed with Toyota and Denso in 2021 as part of the EV Common Architecture Spirit Company joint venture. A Mazda spokesman tells Autoblog the company couldn't confirm any details about future products. Meanwhile, enthusiasts shouldn't wait for a rotary-based production version of Mazda's RX-Vision concept from 2015. Motoring cites two executives who explain that the company simply lacks the capital necessary to invest in developing the new model in time for its 2020 centennial. Mazda debuted its rotary engine 50 years ago in the Cosmo Sport in part as a way to stand out from its larger Japanese competitors. The engine, which uses a spinning three-tipped rotor in place of pistons, is smaller and lighter than conventional piston engines, with a greater power-to-weight ratio and quieter, smoother operation. But it delivers less fuel economy and higher emissions — two weaknesses that could be improved via a stop-start system Mazda has developed, based on a pair of U.S. patents. The company has also been hard at work developing its next-generation Skyactiv-X engine, which uses highly precise combustion ignition technology to deliver significant gains in fuel economy and power.Related Video:

Mazda rotary engine returning, in an autonomous Toyota delivery vehicle
Mon, Jan 22 2018With the return of the Toyota Supra, the Lotus Esprit and Mazda RX-7 probably share the trophy for hardcore sports cars we'd most like sequels for. The Esprit's too hopeless to consider. Mazda continues to speak in riddles about a new RX-7, but the company has confirmed that the RX-7's heart will return: The company's building a rotary-engined range-extender engine for an autonomous Toyota. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Toyota announced its e-Palette autonomous electric delivery vehicle. The e-Palette will come in bus, shuttle, and car versions to service the delivery needs of companies like Amazon, Pizza Hut, and Uber. They'll also be built in custom configurations such as mobile hotel rooms and emergency command centers. Toyota owns 5.25 percent of Mazda, the two automakers recently signed a deal to open a factory in Alabama, and Mazda's known for ace work with small engines. It's not surprising that Toyota chose Mazda for help with the e-Palette, but the rotary aspect is novel. Mazda U.S. president Masahiro Moro said, "This is a very suitable engine to run a generator because it's compact and lightweight, with no noise or vibration, and it has very good fuel economy." There have been rumors of this development previously, as far back as 2016, then again last October in reference to an electric architecture Mazda intended for release in 2019, but Toyota was never mentioned. As to pining for that RX-7 redux, Mazda's head of powertrain said the company's overcome the technical issues of a sports-car-sized rotary engine — the challenge is making a business case for such a sports car. We think the RX-VISION made the case three years ago, and it's already fitted with the Skyactiv-R rotary. Separately, a Toyota spokesman added that the two companies are looking into whether the rotary can be useful beyond the electric car. That's not much to go on when it comes to pining for another RX-7, but hope lives on a scanty diet. Related Video:
