1979 Mazda Rx-7 Gs Coupe 2-door 1.1l Rotary Engine Great Condition No Reserve on 2040-cars
Fremont, Nebraska, United States

For sale is this very nice Red 5 speed 1979 RX-7 w/ power windows and a rear seat which is pretty rare from what I understand. This was the first year of the RX-7 and it's rotary engine so it's very collectible. The car is very straight and drives great but needs a little body work and paint to be a $8-10k car. I traded another car for this one about a couple months ago because of this car's potential, but I don't know anything about rotary engines and I just have too many other projects. I did have the local Mazda dealership look over the car and they did say engine compression is good which I guess is important for these cars. The interior is very good shape overall and tires are good as well w/ original full size spare still in hatch. Things I've bought for it: New Dash Cover - Lays over the current dash which has a crack in it and looks like a new dash. I haven't glued it down yet though in case the next owner wants to fix the old dash. Replaced a lot of the interior plastic. New muffler - old one was SUPER loud. But this one is loud too and could probably use a different one. New leather on driver's seat. There was some serious wear so I had areas replaced with new foam underneath. New rubber mat in rear. Carpet is there and in good shape also. Needs: New front carpet - floor mats cover the wear on driver's but could use new carpet. I priced new carpet at around $150. Storage tray under stereo - I haven't been able to find one but haven't looked in a while... Rear interior cargo cover. Body - Previous owner started to fill in molding crevice (as shown in pics). You could either remove the filler and go with original look or finish what was started for a more sleek look. - There are a few areas with rust - all shown in pics. Any questions, just ask... |

Mazda MX-5 GT gets green light
Fri, 18 Oct 2013The Mazda MX-5 Miata is as popular around the Autoblog offices as Kate Upton posters are around fraternity houses. Few staffers have much criticism for Mazda's ubiquitous roadster, and fewer still aren't overjoyed when one arrives in their driveway. So you can imagine how a report from Auto Express about a more potent MX-5 model is going over in our offices today.
The new model, which was shown in concept form as the Mazda MX-5 GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, has a slight catch, though. First, we have absolutely no idea if Mazda will bring the MX-5 GT to the US. Secondly, and perhaps more problematically, this isn't a production car - it's a kit from the team at Jota Sport.
Now, to be fair, the kit doesn't sound like a bad thing. It bumps the UK-spec 2.0-liter, 157-horsepower engine up to 203 hp thanks to a sports exhaust and a revamped ECU (46 horsepower from an ECU and exhaust in a naturally aspirated car?). To make the little Miata even more agile, Jota has also fiddled with the suspension. AE doesn't mention things like the grippy tires or Recaro seats that were found on the concept, though.
Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds
Mon, 10 Feb 2014For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.
2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona
Fri, 17 Jan 2014With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.
