*Please note this auction is being relisted due to a deadbeat non-paying bidder who provided nothing in way of payment except excuses. If you do not have the money to pay for the auction, please do not bid. 1987 Mazda RX-7. Sunrise Red over gray cloth interior. A bit under 148,000 miles on chassis, roughly 110,000 miles on engine according to previous owner. SE trim level with power sunroof, power steering, and air conditioning (does not blow very cold, but has a charge). Car runs and drives. A previous owner has installed an Alpine AM/FM/Cassette radio with Alpine 12 disc changer (mounted behind passenger seat). Newer (less than 2,000 miles) Falken tires (nearly $500 alone), new fuel pressure regulator, and new battery recently installed. Rebuilt front brake calipers with new pistons, new front pads, Speedbleeders at all four corners, and system was thoroughly bled twice. Can be a little finicky about starting up if left for several days, or left out in cold. I think one or more of the fuel injectors may be leaking a little once car is shut off, as a little starting fluid and the car fires up immediately. Seems to start fine if driven daily. Exterior door side trim on both doors will need to be fixed (adhesive is failing and trim is falling away from car). Clock has stopped working. Car does have typical Michigan rust issues, with rust on the underside, on outer passenger bulkhead, and bubbling under paint on wheel arches. Rust under paint is worse on rear wheel arches compared to fronts. Should be able to get quite some use out of the car before rust becomes safety concern, or use the car as a parts donor for another non turbo FC that has a bad engine. I originally bought this car to use as a drivetrain donor for one of my other projects, but have realized I just don't have the time to get to it right now. I have never registered this car for use on the street personally. Carpet has stains here and there, primarily behind the passenger seat, as if someone spilled a coke and did not clean it up before stain set in. May come out with a good cleaning, not certain. Engine compression numbers: F: 7.2/6.9/7.2 kg/cm3 @ 266rpm R: 6.7/6.8/6.7 kg/cm3 @ 228 rpm *Compression test done with Mazda SST that was recently recalibrated by Kowa Seiki in Japan. Please Read Thoroughly: Car is located in Greenvile, Michigan (48838), and is being sold as-is, where-is. No warranty nor guarantee of any kind applies to sale of car. No returns or refunds. If you are local and would like to schedule a time to see the car prior to bidding, feel free to contact me to set something up. Payment due by PayPal within three (3) days of close of auction, or cash in hand at pickup, so long as that is also within three (3) days of close of auction, unless other arrangements have been made with me prior to auction ending. Provided car is paid in full within the three days of auction close, I can hold the car here for up to two weeks after auction ends with no storage fees, though I will assume no liability for the car once the auction ends and car is paid for. *Shipping of or pickup arrangements for the car are the responsibility of the buyer and are to be coordinated with me ahead of time. Please do not arrange pickup of the car without letting me know- I am not going to release the car to some random carrier who shows up unexpected saying they are here to get a car for someone. Please Note: While the car does run, drive and stop, it is still a 25 year old car. Please use common sense... I can not and will not promise you that you would not have problems trying to drive it across the country, nor can I guarantee you a specific number of years the engine will continue to run. (Yes, I have been asked to guarantee both of these issues before)
