I'm selling a rare and unique custom built 1995 Miata MX-5 that is right hand drive and is road legal in all 50 states. This Miata started off as a left hand drive car and was torn down and rebuilt using a front clip imported from Japan. The engine and manual transmission from the front clip in the car are from an imported 1993 1.6L and are estimated to have approximately 65,000 miles on them. The car is mostly stock inside with the exception of an aftermarket stereo and shift knob, along with a custom body kit and lowering springs. NEW ITEMS ON CAR: Over the past couple of years, I added a matching hard top, rear spoiler, new struts and lowering springs, brakes and rotors all around, and rear calipers to the car. I also had most of the engine torn down and had over $3k in work done on the engine, as well as a new radiator, heater core, etc. ISSUES WITH CAR: the front left caliper is sticking and needs replaced, the heating system does not work too well (I think the ducting needs to be hooked up properly behind the dash), the oil pressure gauge needs fixed, and the stereo system is not hooked up to the speakers. The overall car is in great shape and has a few minor rust issues on the bottoms of the doors and on a couple body seams. The paint needs some touches done to it as well - most issues with the paint seem to be in the top coat and I think a good buffing would remove most, if not all of the scratches, which were caused by by young boys running some toys along the body of the car. None of the scratches appear to go into the paint - they all appear to be on the top / clear coat. Valve cover gasket also has a minor leak in the rear - I've replaced this gasket within the past 5k miles, but it seems to have a small leak in it once again. It's not leaking a ton, but oil is seeping out some. The seats are out of the car in the pictures due to interior cleaning and they will be in the car at time of purchase. I have a picture of the stock seats included. I have over $9k in this car. Car has a clean Ohio title and is currently located in Johnstown, PA. Pick up and shipping are at the expense of the buyer. I am happy to assist with getting the car on a truck to get it delivered, but I will not cover the shipping costs. There is rust on the car for sure, but not too bad. A couple of the body seams have rust on them with the largest area being on the rear quarter panel near the right rear tire. This area is probably about 3-4 inches in length and an inch or so in height. It is all surface based from what I can tell. There is also a little rust on the interior door jambs and on the bottoms of the doors as well, but it too is surface based. The undercarraige has rust, but nothing structural from everything I can see. It looks to be completely surface based and could be cleaned up and treated with a rust inhibitor, such as POR-50. Overall, the rust is not really all that bad and the car is in pretty good shape. The dash has one spot where the seam has pulled away a bit, due to age and UV sun exposure. The dash is in really good shape for its age. The steering wheel is an aftermarket one I put on a couple years ago and it's in decent condition, but the glue holding the cover on the ends has come off some. This could either be reglued, or just replaced as it's an inexpensive wheel that I paid maybe $30-40 for. In the pictures, there are driving / fog lights on the bottom part of the bumper. These are inoperable and one of them has its cover broken. I do have a new replacement set of lights that I will include with the auction.
