1988 Mazda RX-7 GXL “Barn-find”White with navy interior. Never raced; garage queen most of its life. Numbers on engine and tranny match. Well maintained – rebuilt engine and transmission. Engine compartment cleaned and repainted at time of engine rebuild. 2 drivelines available; one is the Mazdatrix aftermarket unit with Ford CV joints, and the other is the original OEM driveline rebuilt. Dual stainless steel exhaust. The dashboard is in good shape, no splitting. Undercarriage looks good, but the suspension underpinning/consumables will probably need attention soon. Original interior, paint and rear end, but no major body issues. All original equipment available (radios, brain box, etc.) Includes Mazda Service Manual.
Car began life in Oregon as a garage queen, moved to Idaho in 1999. Moved to Florida in 2001 and has been here ever since. Floor of car was extensively gone through when engine and drivetrain were rebuilt at 200k miles, no corrosion observed. Car suffered a master cylinder failure in the mid 90s that bubbled the paint on the left structural main in the engine compartment. Removed all such paint failures and inspected for corrosion, found to be clean and repainted. Car is in excellent shape considering its original everything (cosmetic) condition, but I don't have time to work on it.
Mechanical Squawk list:Cold start routine needs attention, car starts but it can be cranky when cold out.Differential CV joints need replacement - Last part of the drivetrain that needs attentionFront bumper lip has separated from the stringers
You'll see in the photos that there is an aftermarket radio in it. The guy who owned it in Oregon had another radio installed but sold it with the factory radio. After market radio is installed with wiring adapters attached to the original plugs.
