Hi everyone and thanks for looking at my 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE   Chances are if you are looking at this, you already know about what makes this car special from factory so I will only touch upon that stuff briefly and let the pictures do most of the talking..

This particular car is a Royal Maroon code 3A GSL-SE made in April of 1985   This was a very limited production color and rumor has it that there were only two each given to each dealer in the USA.  One had leather and the other had the Grey cloth of which this one is.   The only option this car does NOT have is power steering.  The GSL-SE had every other option available and being a 1985 and late production one at that, it had some other nice things.

The GSL-SE had upgraded clutch and 5 speed as well as a limited slip differential and stouter rear suspension with gas charged shocks
The best part is the fuel injected 135 hp 1.3L rotary motor known as the 13B.  This motor kicks ass!!
Air conditioning as well as upgraded stereo, lumbar adjustable and height adjustable drivers seat, 14inch wheels ( 205-60-14 )

ok so now about this particular car….

Yes, it only has 59K original miles.   The interior is beautiful, and it has never been in an accident or been hit.  It has never been repainted but the clear coat on the hood is starting to check quite a bit.  The color is still there but the sheen is gone on the hood only

The best thing about this car is how amazingly original it is.  It has not been messed with but it has been taken care of.
Just about everything with the exception of the fluids is original!
The pictures speak for the condition but they can't tell you that the AC works perfectly, all interior lights illuminate and all warning lights function as they should.
Even the light for the ignition switch lights up when the door is open.
map light,  over head light as well as rear cargo light work
The stereo functions perfectly, even the weird directional switch in the console works.  
The electric windows operate at a  good speed,  Cruise control works, horn and all ventilation stuff works perfectly.
The rear defrost works but the rear wiper does not and the power antenna makes noise but thats about it
There are no cracks in the dash, the glovebox light works and all dash lights at night glow a beautiful red. 
The center console box/lid is excellent  The headliner is mint, the carpet is excellent and the original floor mats are present. The steering wheel is perfect
ALL glass is original Mazda with proper markings
I replaced the rear glass hatch shocks but I still have them, I replaced the spark plug wires ( they are dated 1985!!!) and I still have those as well
The engine starts easily and does  not smoke.   The radiator is clean and free of corrosion.  Nothing has been altered in the engine bay
I did replace the spark plugs and O2 sensor. 
The clutch is smooth and does not grab or chatter.  the brakes are excellent
The tires are ehhh…  about 75% worn but I have driven far on them and they seem to be just fine. 
This car is tight as a drum, no rattles and no leaks.   NO LEAKS!!!
There are misc tiny nicks and scratches here and there.. its 30 years old!!!!
The drivers door weatherstripping is dried out and cracked. Still seals OK though
The windshield is perfect!!  Not chipped or sand blasted and its original mazda as well

I wish I could keep this beauty but I don't care for how I fit it in and neither does my son.    You can drive this anywhere. 

I have TONS of pictures that I will post a link at the end for you  to go to.  

Now, here are some extra cool things
I have the original window sticker, all original books and manuals including a factory service manual

It has the factory rare as hens teeth REAR SEAT!! with seat belts.  It folds down too!
I still have the original storage boxes with lids that will go with the car, One of the little locks is missing on one of the boxes
I have the sunroof black storage bag and If you want I can get you the optional glass sunroof for $50 bucks from my local shop

This car pulls hard!!  Handles like a dream, tight as a drum and rides excellent.  You will be pleased

Feel free to call me with any questions.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
Check out our full gallery of high-res images live from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show above and feel free to read through the related press release from Mazda below.

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform

Fri, 31 May 2013

Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.

Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.
