Hello, It's time for me to part ways with my beloved NA Miata. I've been it's faithful caretaker since October 2004, but I don't drive it enough anymore to justify keeping it. The 1997 Miata STO was basically a send-off of the NA model, as these were the last 1500 cars to roll off the production line. This package included the following copied from Miata.net.1997 STO Edition Twilight Blue Mica with tan leather interior, tan boot and tan top "Special Touring Option" called "still the one" in advertising Equipment: Leather Nardi shift knob, 15" Enkei 5-spoke wheels with Bridgestone high-performance tires, stainless sill plates, rear lip-type spoiler, rear subframe brace, CD player with headrest speakers, custom floor mats with STO label, power steering, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, power windows, Certificate of Authenticity, numbered STO dash plate Optional: automatic transmission, air conditioning Production: 1500 in numbered sequence, produced May-July 1997, available beginning of July Base MSRP: $22,520 plus$450 freight, plus options I've done LOTS of maintenance and work on the car, including:New radiatorrebuilt 1999-2000 BP4W head and intake manifold (to eliminate the stock HLA tick and add performance)added ARP head studs with above just in casenew Mazdaspeed Torsen Type II differentialnew ball joints in front suspensionnew EZ-ON vinyl top with glass rear windowNew waterpumptiming belt service performed at 100k milesRacing beat front sway barKYB AGX shocks, adjustableREAL 1990-1994 Oil pressure gaugeNEW windshielddepowered steering rack Mechanically the car is exactly where I wanted it to be, and it's been a very easy car to maintain throughout the years. The car has never been wrecked, but as you can see in the pictures, it does have minor parking lot dings. I have an OEM hard top that I will offer to the winning bidder for a steep discount. It is functional, but honestly it could use a respray. If you have any questions, please feel free to email. I don't always have lightning-fast response times, as work blocks personal mail, so please be patient. Thanks for looking! Jeff
