Overview

The Mazda RX7 was only sold in the US from 1993-1995.  The production number was only 13,879 in total, with only 3403 in 1994.  Of those 3403 in 1994 only 118 of them came in the Silver Stone Metallic with the Touring Package and a manual transmission.  And of those 118 only 16 came with the red interior.  1994 was the last year for the Touring Package option, also the last year the red leather was offered as an option, and the first year the Silver Stone Metallic was available.  They softened the suspension in 1994 for the Base and Touring models.  Added in 1994 also was a passenger side airbag, map pockets, and one touch driver’s side window switch.  To say the car here for sale is rare would be an understatement.  Not only would you be hard pressed to find another with the same options and color scheme, you won’t find one in this condition and with this low of miles.  This car has been very well cared for its entire life.  It has been in single ownership since new.  It was garage kept, driven sparingly every year, and never in anything other than sunshine.  Maintenance was regularly performed by Mazda technicians and all the recalls were performed by Mazda as well.    

Exterior

This car wears its entirely original paint.  There is not one scratch.  There is a small chip under the rear spoiler.(see photos)  It shines like the day it was sold.  No fading or discolorations, not one sign of any rust.  The front chin spoiler has not been scraped on any low driveways.  Every wheel is in like new condition and wrapped in like new P225/50R16 Goodyear Eagle tires.  There is a dealer installed wind deflector on the glass moonroof, with the white Mazda stamp still visible.  All gaps are good, doors shut properly, and hood/trunk fit is good as well.  It has the optional rear window wiper and washer.  There is also a period cell phone antenna on the rear window. 

Interior

The interior in this RX7 is absolutely stunning.  As it should be with only a mere 12,000 miles on the car.  It has never been repaired or replaced, it is all the original leather and trim.  The red leather seats are in amazing condition.  They were very well cared for.  There is not one sign of discoloration or cracks.  The leather is very soft and clean.  There are not any stains or spots in the carpet or the optional floor mats.  The 2 rear compartments are clean and have no scratches in the plastic trim.  The storage compartment on the driver’s door still has its little door.  It has the optional rear cargo cover.  The center console is like new.  The ashtray is clean, the owner was not a smoker.  The pedals are drilled aluminum.  All the electronics work perfectly.  Windows, moonroof, mirrors, and locks all work flawlessly.  All the interior lights, gauges, and wipers are in great working order.  This car has the optional Bose Acoustic Wave Sound System and it works perfectly.  None of the switches or knobs show any wear or discoloration.  The AC blows cold.  The interior of this car is in simply amazing condition.  It does have a period cell phone docking station on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. 

Mechanical's

The twin turbo 2 cylinder Rotary 1.3 liter engine runs as strong as the day it was built.  It pulls like a super car.  0-60 MPH time in the mid-5 second range with 255 BHP and 160 MPH top speed.  It has excellent oil pressure.  The cooling system works perfectly.  Electric fans are in proper working condition, coolant is clean, and there is zero smoke or smells.  It has only had premium fuel in its tank.  It only has 12,000 original miles on it.  All the routine services done to the motor were performed by Mazda, according to the original owner.  The turbos are in excellent working condition.  The car has zero leaks.  All the recalls were performed.  All the hoses look to be in great condition.  The clutch feels amazing.  It shifts very smoothly, including into 5th gear.  No rattles, clunks, or shakes.  The 4 wheel disc brakes are firm.  The car rides very smoothly on its original suspension components.

Literature and Extras

The car still has all its original books, pamphlets, and holders.  The original window sticker and original spare key.  It comes with extra oil filters and air filters from Mazda and the original Bose Sound System test CD.  Also, the moonroof interior cover.    

Conclusion

You are not going to find a nicer original example of the Mazda RX7.  It has had no modifications, like most of the others on the market.  This car is ready to be driven if you so choose too.  Simply a joy to drive!

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Mazda reveals 25th anniversary edition MX-5 Miata alongside next-gen chassis

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Ford may be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mustang this week, but it's not the only automaker with a sports car icon to fete at this year's New York Auto Show. Mazda is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata with an array of 15 classic models. It's also showing off the chassis for the next MX-5, and unveiling a special 25th Anniversary Edition.
The special edition is based on the retractable hardtop model with either manual or automatic transmission, Bilstein shocks, a metallic red paint job with contrasting black roof and an off-white leather interior. Naturally, special badging can be found inside and out to set it apart from the record 940,000 other MX-5s sold to date, and just 100 examples will find their way to US buyers.
Along with the two-tone special, Mazda is also showing off the new Skyactiv chassis and engine that'll underpin and power the upcoming next-generation MX-5 (as well as an as-yet-to-be-determined Fiat Group roadster if the two parties can work out their differences). With a lower center of gravity that's also closer to the middle of the car, the new chassis promises even better balance and a good couple hundred pounds of weight savings over the outgoing model. Check it all out in the press releases below.

MotorWeek checks out two sides of the '90s Japanese car scene

Sat, Feb 6 2016

MotorWeek's Retro Reviews let you feel nostalgic about a huge range of classic cars, and the latest two releases offer a look at two very different sides of the Japanese car market in the 1990s. The video above shows off tuned examples of the Mazda RX-7 and Nissan 300ZX. Check out the clip below to remember the 1997 Honda CR-V, if you want to reminisce about something a little more utilitarian. The RX-7 and 300ZX were among the era's best Japanese sports cars, and these examples' suspension and engine overhauls gave them an extra boost. Peter Farrel Supercars tunes the Mazda, and the vibrant yellow paint and body kit make it look ready for an episode of Initial D. The updated powertrain stands up to the mean styling and gets the RX-7 to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. The Stillen 300ZX GTZ sports a giant wing, and new turbos take the output to 465 hp. It sprints to 60 in 4.9 seconds. The CR-V sits on the opposite end of the automotive spectrum as the tuned RX-7 and 300ZX, but it's even more important in a historical sense. The Honda (along with the Toyota RAV4 and others) was among the progenitors of today's mega-popular compact crossovers. These early examples set the foundation for offering buyers a utilitarian vehicle in a comfortable package with good fuel economy at an affordable price. The CR-V had some quirky charm, too, like the removable picnic table hidden in the cargo floor. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
