ORIGINALLY  SAND COLOR

WEBER CARBS 40 DCOE 18

CURRENT OWNER SINCE NOV. 2002

MY CUSTOMER  PURCHASED IT FROM THE BOSTON AREA.

I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

THIS GTV IS A NICE DRIVER THAT HAS HAD A GOOD LIFE BUT NOT A  PAMPERED LIFE.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAND COLOR BUT WAS PAINTED RED I WOULD ESTIMATE SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE 90'S.

THE PAINT JOB IS A REASONABLE REPAINT BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO SHOW CAR STANDARDS.

THERE WAS NEW SHEETMETAL WELDED INTO THE FLOORS ABOUT 5 + YEARS AGO AND THEN THE FLOORS WERE SANDED TO BARE METAL AND COATED WITH PRIMER AND PAINTED WITH RUSTOLEUM BLACK.

REAR SEATING /  DECK AREA WAS FINE AND NOT TOUCHED.

SEATS AND CARPETING WERE REMOVED FOR THE ABOVE METAL REPAIR.

NEW FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY KITS WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED BY A TRIM SHOP.

REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL - SEAT BOTTOMS ARE GOOD - SEAT BACKS HAVE A SMALL TEAR .

DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE .

THE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A PIECE OF WOOD VENEER.

PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL IS ORIGINAL WITH MAP POCKET.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

HEADLINER IS IN GOOD TO GOOD PLUS CONDITION.

DASHBOARD HAS A DASH CAP ON IT.

SO ORIGINAL DASH TOP NEEDS RESTORATION.

GAUGES WORK FINE.

RADIO IS NOT WIRED IN.

BODY HAS MINOR DINGS AND DENTS .

BUMPERS THE SAME .

FRONT GRILL HAS SOME PITTING COULD USE A REPLATING.

EVEN THOUGH THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME METAL RESTORATION THE BODY OVERALL HAS HELD UP REASONABLY WELL.

JACK POINTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALONG WITH THE INNER SILLS AND OUTER PANELS.

TRUNK FLOOR ALSO IS IN GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH THE SPARE TIRE WELL HAS HAD SOME MINOR  REPAIR WORK DONE IN THE PAST.

UNFORTUNATELY THE FRONT BOX SECTION WHERE THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR IS ATTACHED AND THE RADIATOR BOTTOM SUPPORT AREA IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT / RESTORATION.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

THAT SAID THE BAR IS SECURELY ATTACHED AS IS THE RADIATOR.

CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE ABOVE CONDITION SINCE THE OWNER BOUGHT IT.

ALSO WHEN I PERFORMED THE RADIATOR SERVICE / REPAIR I HAD NO PARTICULAR PROBLEMS REFITTING THE RADIATOR.

GLASS IS GOOD AND SO IS THE RETAINING TRIM.

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL.

I HAVE TAKEN A COMPRESSION TEST AND ALL 4 CYLINDERS ARE 150 + TO 160 PSI. EACH.

IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION MANIFOLD ADAPTOR KIT [ SHANKLE ? ! ]  FOR THE CARBS.

FUEL TANK WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND RESEALED BY THE RADIATOR SHOP I USE.

RADIATOR WAS RECORED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BRAKE SERVICE WAS DONE ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO.

ALSO AN O.E. CISAM  EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED  A FEW YEARS AGO.

GEAR BOX WORKS FINE BUT DOES NEED TO BE WARMED  UP BEFORE 2 ND GEAR IS AT ITS BEST.

A BOX REBUILD IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

CLUTCH AND RELATED HYDRAULICS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

SUSPENSION IS OLD BUT STILL IN DECENT ORDER.

TIRES ARE OLD AND NEED REPLACEMENT.

HEATER FAN MOTOR IS FROZEN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

A GOOD USED SPARE HEATER FAN ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

FAN HAS BEEN TESTED AND BOTH SPEEDS WORK FINE.

WIPER ASSEMBLY WORKS FINE.

MY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THIS GTV IN NOV. 2002 FROM THE EAST COAST / BOSTON AREA.

HE HAS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT , GARAGED AND RARELY DRIVES IT.

SO DO TO THE FACT OF HIM RARELY DRIVING IT HE HAS DECIDED TO SELL IT .

HE IS A MOTIVATED SELLER AND HAS LOWERED THE RESERVE.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS BASICALLY A GOOD GTV, A NICE DRIVER  BUT IT IS NOT A 90 + POINT SHOW CAR.

I BELIEVE  IT IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A FUTURE RESTORATION .

CAR IS OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION.

PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

Although a little bit later than expected, Mazda and Fiat have signed a final agreement that will bring a next-generation MX-5 Miata to the Japanese automaker and a new roadster to Alfa Romeo. When the proposed arrangement was announced back in May, the two automakers had hoped to seal the deal last year, but it doesn't appear that the production timeline for these cars has slipped any, with both expected to start rolling off assembly lines in 2015.
Other than a shared chassis with a rear-wheel-drive layout, it sounds like the two cars are still planned to be distinct in their own ways from their styling right down to their engines. Mazda will produce both cars at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan, but it isn't clear what role each automaker will play in the cars' developmental process. The big question, of course, is what clever portmanteau name we can come up with, like Toyobaru. Mazda Romeo is the easy choice, but Alfazda might roll off the tongue a little better.
Scroll down for a brief press release from both automakers.
